Sarah Al Amiri, the UAE Minister of Education, continues to solidify the United Arab Emirates’ position as a global leader in educational advocacy. Recently, she participated in a high-level event focused on the **girls’ right to education**, held on the sidelines of the 63rd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva. At **Business Promotion24**, we are proud to highlight these pivotal milestones that shape the global landscape of human rights and empowerment.
### A Renewed Global Commitment in Geneva
The event, co-convened by the Permanent Missions of the UAE and the United Kingdom, marked the 12th anniversary of the Human Rights Council resolution on girls’ education. Under the theme **“Renewing Global Commitment to Leave No Girl Behind,”** Al Amiri delivered powerful opening remarks alongside Awa Dabo, Deputy UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Kumar Iyer, the UK’s Ambassador.
During her address, Al Amiri emphasized that education must go beyond mere qualifications. She stated, “Our ambition should remain clear: every girl should have access to and complete at least twelve years of safe, inclusive, equitable and quality education.” She further noted that education should provide the “agency to decide what comes next” in a girl’s life.
### UAE’s Vision for the Human Rights Council (2028-2030)
A significant highlight of the event was the announcement regarding the UAE’s future international role. As the UAE seeks membership in the **Human Rights Council for the 2028-2030 term**, Al Amiri reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to advancing and protecting human rights. Having served three terms previously, the UAE views its candidacy as an opportunity to build on its engagement with international partners to bridge the digital divide and eliminate gender inequality in learning.
The discussion also featured insights from UNICEF, UN Women, and UNESCO, as well as inspiring contributions from Emirati inventor Mariam Al Ghafri and youth speakers from Malawi.
### Shaping Generations at the Emirati Women’s Forum
Closer to home, Sarah Al Amiri participated in the **Emirati Women’s Forum 2026 (EWF)**, organized by the Dubai Women Establishment. The forum coincided with Emirati Women’s Day, celebrated under the theme **“We Emerge Stronger and Better.”**
In a session titled “Women Shaping Generations and Building the Future,” Al Amiri highlighted that investing in human capital is the foundation of the UAE’s future. She identified the development of generations equipped with values, skills, and adaptability as a national priority.
### The Role of the National Education Charter
The Minister also touched upon the **National Education Charter**, emphasizing the importance of family-school partnerships in strengthening national identity and the Arabic language. By nurturing innovative, future-ready minds, the UAE is ensuring that the next generation of women is prepared to lead across science, technology, and education.
At **Business Promotion24**, we believe that the leadership of figures like Sarah Al Amiri is essential for fostering a global environment where every girl can thrive. These international and local efforts demonstrate a clear roadmap for a more equitable and educated world.
