Compulsory board seats for women at UAE firms a 'huge step' forward - The National

The UAE Cabinet's decision to make it compulsory for companies and government agencies to appoint women board members is "a huge step in the right direction", according to leading businesswomen across the country.

Lucy Chow, the co-chairwoman of the Dubai chapter of 85 Broads, a global women's network, said she expected the decision would be welcomed by many of the group's members.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, made the historic announcement via Twitter on Sunday.
