It’s International Women’s Day today, and so it got us thinking about women we admire, respect and look up to.<\/p>\n

There are so many women here doing excellent things, and it’s being highlighted around the city with events.<\/p>\n

\u00a0HH\u00a0Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai tweeted last night, <\/a>supporting women of the emirates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Get Involved\u00a0<\/h3>\n

The Crowne Plaza on Sheikh Zayed Road is hosting an art event tonight titled ‘Be Bold For Change’ and will feature 20 talented female artists’ work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0It’s in collaboration with art initiative, Zee Arts and you can see the works of art in The Cafe on the Crowne Plaza Dubai’s ground floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, here are some of the women of the UAE that inspire us…<\/p>\n
