The year 2018 was full of achievements for women, domestically and internationally, with many drawing the focus of public opinion. Meanwhile, the women’s squash team was awarded the First Class Sports Medal by President Sisi after they won the World Cup in China in September. In April 2018, the Sheikh Zayed Memorial, designed by Aboul Khair, was inaugurated at Hospital 57357, becoming the first mobile memorial in the world. Many believe that Tunisian women achieved a victory after a controversial law was issued on equality between men and women in inheritance. Emirati women also had many achievements, with their representation doubling to 50 percent at the Federal National Council (FNC) in next year’s elections.
