UAE role in the empowerment of women is exemplary, an English language newspaper commented yesterday.

"Since its founding, four decades ago, the UAE has always recognised the equal role and rights of women," Dubai-based Gulf News said in its editorial.

Statistics from the UAE show that women have equal access to education, professional and corporate access and outperform their male counterparts when it comes to academic achievement and results.

"The lesson is for other Arab and Gulf nations to follow the example of the UAE. Women are equal partners at home and the workplace," the paper wrote. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
