Quote by Fatima Al Jokar, Chairperson of DEWA Women’s Committee on Emirati Woman’s Day 2019

Fatima Mohammed Al Jokar, Chairperson of DEWA Women’s Committee

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (DEWA) top management supports our wise leadership’s approach to providing a positive environment for DEWA's 1929 female employees. DEWA provides a supportive environment for women empowerment and leadership, making full use of their innovative and creative potential. This positively reflects on their professional and social lives, and has a significant impact on society as a whole.

DEWA Women's Committee spares no effort in motivating its employees to succeed and enhance their role in DEWA’s achievements. So far in 2019, the committee has organised various motivational and awareness lectures on maintaining a balance between work and personal life, successful education for children, and health awareness. We provided multiple sports activities, three times a week, supervised by certified trainers, for our female employees.

We remain committed to integrating the values of tolerance, especially during the Year of Tolerance, as well as cooperating and working as a team. DEWA sent some female employees to perform Umrah for the first time. DEWA also provided multiple programmes for its female employees, from more than 40 nationalities to promote happiness, tolerance, and stress management, in support of cultural diversity, harmony, and friendly relations among all employees.

For our female employees, we organised field visits to all our branches, and educational trips to Dubai Frame, Dubai Opera, and Mirzam Chocolate factory. To develop the personal abilities of female employees, we conducted handheld workshops on the art of decoupage and painting, making Arabian perfume and incense, in addition to a workshop on colour psychology.

The committee sponsored the Emirati Women's Conference, organised by the Emirates Intellectual Property Association and the General Women's Union to communicate effectively with all stakeholders. We also sponsored the Emirates Award for Women that honours successful female models at the state level.

We will not hesitate to provide our female employees with all support needed to be active members in building a strong and cohesive society, capable of keeping pace with rapid changes, and serving as key partners in leading the nation’s sustainable development process.
