The award was received on behalf of Sheikha Fatima by Noura Al Suwaidi, Secretary-General of the General Women’s Union, at the Egyptian pavilion in Expo 2020 Dubai, local media reports said.

Al Suwaidi was quoted saying that said the award is a medal of honor and appreciation for Sheikha Fatima.
The award adds to her many recognitions for decades of giving and distinguished efforts in women’s empowerment area, said Al Suwaidi.
