The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has made significant strides in promoting women's rights, aligning its private law with international human rights standards while respecting cultural traditions. In the UAE, women's rights are safeguarded across various sectors, including family law, labor law, and protection from violence, with specific provisions outlined in both federal laws and Sharia principles.

  • Family Law and Personal Status: Under the UAE's personal status law, which is based on Islamic Sharia principles, women have the right to enter into marriage with their consent, request divorce under certain conditions, and maintain custody of children in cases of separation. Additionally, laws have evolved to better protect women’s rights in inheritance and property matters, ensuring fairness in line with both Sharia and civil regulations.
  • Workplace Rights and Gender Equality: In recent years, UAE laws have emphasized gender equality in the workplace. The UAE Labor Law prohibits gender discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions, and working conditions. Additionally, laws support women's right to maternity leave, equal pay for equal work, and protection against workplace harassment. The government continues to introduce new initiatives to empower women in both the private and public sectors.
  • Protection from Domestic Violence and Abuse: UAE private law provides protection for women against domestic violence and abuse through legal channels that include restraining orders and access to legal support. The government has established mechanisms to report violence and has enhanced the penalties for those convicted of abuse, ensuring a safer environment for women in the country.

By continuously updating laws to support women’s rights, the UAE demonstrates its commitment to advancing gender equality in accordance with both its cultural context and international standards.
