From challenge comes change! And form change opportunities and new leaders are born. Challenge helps in shaping us as individuals, and countries, in general. The huge challenge that we are experiencing globally, and not in Oman alone, is an alert to increase the level of responsibility towards society. It also requires a collaborative force to generate a blossoming future for all.

Having women in the forefront to strengthen their presence in various professions, side by side with men, will encourage diversification that results in a more prosperous society.

I always look at challenge as an opportunity. And Omani women, historically and at present, have proved their capability and competence in achieving more than what has been dedicated to them. Now is the time where women can participate more effectively in building future nations.

While we celebrate International Women’s Day, it is paramount to realise that 'gender equity' will not be attained in our lifetime if we fail to see its direct correlation with economic prosperity.

This is because gender equity is intrinsically linked to sustainable development and is vital to the realisation of rights for all.

To this end, if we want a successful and flourishing economy, we must include the contributions and potentials of all - men as well as women.
