Women working for the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratis demanded that women be assigned to the "Open Days for Employment" organized by the ministry with private sector institutions and companies, in order to limit the selection of cadres to fill jobs without crowding young people.

This is not true. Women work well. Providing special functions for men E, and have their days employ them deficient.
