Women leadership in the UAE and india

In the United Arab Emirates, the achievements of women over the years has immensely impressed me and made me understand that the seeds of the great effort that women planted are bearing fruits today. It is imperative to note that in UAE, up to and until the 1970’s, there were hardly any educated women, save even those who could occupy leadership positions (Fatima, 2001, p. 33). Research studies indicate that this could have been attributed to the traditional practices that surrounded and defined gender roles among Muslims.
