EXCERPTS:
Women’s Day generally brings forth many thoughts: women’s equality/gender parity; women’s rights and the foremost need to break the bias (against women). Here, in Oman, could we say that it is more than just celebrating womanhood; here it is celebrating the success (various types of success, not just the monetary kind) of Omani women and also the unique integration between the two genders, who are working together to achieve a better future for Oman? Your thoughts on this.
In Oman, Women’s Day signifies more than a celebration of womanhood; it honours the remarkable achievements of Omani women across diverse fields, underscoring that success encompasses a wide range of contributions to society. It highlights the invaluable collaboration between men and women in building a more prosperous and inclusive future for Oman. 

At JCDecaux Oman, I have personally witnessed the strength of this gender partnership, as our commitment to gender equality forms a core part of our corporate culture. By promoting a nurturing and equitable environment, we are actively working to raise the number of female employees and foster women’s empowerment through our ESG initiatives. This day serves as a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come and the continued importance of breaking biases to ensure that all individuals can contribute meaningfully to Oman’s future.

How would you view the growth and advancement of Omani women in the last many years? What would you like to say about that?
The advancement of Omani women over the past few years has been impressive, with their contributions becoming increasingly visible across various sectors, making women essential drivers of Oman’s development. Their progress is a testament to their resilience, determination, and the supportive environment fostered within the country. It remains crucial to continue offering support and addressing any remaining challenges to ensure sustained progress. The success of Omani women today paves the way for future generations, inspiring them to push beyond conventional limits.

Also, with regards to the advancement, would you say that today the Omani women are on par with other women of the world? If not, what more should be done?
Omani women have made remarkable strides, achieving success on both national and international stages. Their accomplishments in sectors such as education, business, and government reflect their growing influence and capabilities. However, while they are on par with women globally in many respects, further efforts are needed to bridge the remaining gaps in gender equality, particularly in leadership and decision-making roles. 

At JCDecaux Oman, as part of our broader ESG commitment, we are continuously striving to empower women by creating a supportive and equal workplace that champions gender diversity. By promoting mentorship, and addressing cultural barriers, we can further strengthen the position of Omani women, ensuring they continue to thrive and stand shoulder to shoulder with their global counterparts.
