About Us

The International Majilis of Women is a pioneering initiative born out of the American University in the Emirates’ unwavering commitment to the vision of the UAE’s leadership for women as we move towards 2021. The IMW’s inspiration comes from H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s affirmation that.

“Our job is to provide an environment that unlocks women potential-one that protects their dignity and femininity, helps them create the necessary balance in their lives, and values their talents and potential. Given this environment, I am confident that women will perform nothing short of miracles.”
