Commemorating Womanhood!

Every year, the Sultanate of Oman celebrates Omani Women’s Day on October 17 in recognition of the contribution of the nation’s women, and their role in the development and advancement of the country.

There has been continuous attention to and advancement in the role of women, under the support of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, especially in the recent years, where women’s issues across all areas and sectors have become a top priority for developmental policies as well.

Omani women have proven their merit as a major driving force in the community and now are forging ahead confidently armed with science, knowledge, experience and determination to increase their role in the country’s sustainable development.

The Woman salutes these achievements and speaks to a few women who have changed the course of women empowerment and have set an example for others to follow.

WHAT IS WOMANHOOD TO YOU?

“Womanhood to me is based on being comfortable in your own skin; being proud of who you are. It is understanding and acknowledging the paths our mothers and all those women around us took and who nurtured, sacrificed, and passed their wisdom to us.

“Womanhood is about embracing our struggles and challenges in life with hope and love. It is about perseverance and integrity. It is the beauty and uniqueness that all women have as individuals and provides the bond of sisterhood. It is having the knowledge and experience to reflect on the past and the future.

“Womanhood is about being aware of your strengths, weaknesses, and your nurturing self; it is about being yourself. It is about being creative and sharing, accepting and appreciating lessons we encounter daily.”
