All Winners at UAE’s Gender Equality at Workplace Awards are Men

‘Look at these men finally being recognised’: Twitter on UAE’s Gender Awards.

What do you call gender equality awards that only go to men? Awards for men.

On 27 January when the UAE awards for ‘gender equality at workplace’ were announced, it became a bit of a joke when all the recipients were men.

Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the vice-president of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, presented prizes to award winners at the Gender Balance Index 2018 in three categories, all of which were collected by men.
