DEWA is one of the largest government organisations to employ women in technical positions within the energy sector across Dubai.

DEWA has 1,933 women in its workforce, 80 percent being Emirati. This includes 646 female engineers and technicians at DEWA, 87 percent of whom are Emiratis. Female staff also actively participate in conservation and community awareness programmes, especially those that target women.

“Thanks to the vision of our wise leadership, Emirati women have accomplished much more in a shorter period, compared to what their counterparts in other parts of the world took decades to achieve,” says Al Mehairi.
