HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai made an important announcement today regarding the gender pay gap.

A UAE cabinet today approved a new law that will bridge the pay gap between men and women. In a Tweet posted on Tuesday, HH Sheikh Mohammed stated the UAE’s constitution is based on equal rights and duties of the sexes, which the UAE seeks to enforce and guarantee through the law.

“The Council of Ministers drafted the first legislation of its kind for equality in salaries and wages between the sexes. With the force of law, we do not want any exception in providing equal opportunities for both sexes. Our Constitution is of equal rights and duties of the sexes and we seek to elaborate, enforce and guarantee this constitutional right through the new law.”
