The National Media Authority of the UAE has initiated legal proceedings against a resident who published inflammatory social media content disparaging Emirati women. In addition, the authority revoked the individual's advertising permit for a period of three months. The NMA declared that the online material contravened the provisions outlined in the Media Regulation Law and its related regulations.
A woman responsible for the post expressed a desire for foreign models to audition for a photo shoot commemorating Emirati Women's Day, citing the scarcity of suitable Emirati women. The NMA firmly affirmed that it would not condone any content that belittles Emirati women or undermines their national contributions. The authority underscored the necessity for social media users to exercise responsibility in their online postings and to respect the national identity.
The Union Association for Human Rights released a statement emphasizing the significance of acknowledging Emirati women's dignity, identity, and status. It called for an end to stereotypes and discrimination, advocating for responsible dialogue in the digital realm in line with the laws and regulations in force in the United Arab Emirates.
