February 23rd marked the start of a World's first with Dubai kicking off the region's first Global Women's Forum. The forum features world-renowned women speaking on the current state and essential future of women in the Middle East, including Queen Rania Al Abdullah, H.E. Reem Ibrahim Al Hashimi, Sheikha Lubna bint Khalid Al Qasimi, Christine Lagarde, and Dr. Ameenah Gurib-Fakim.

With such a strong lineup, we couldn't help but be inspired by their poignant speeches about how women can take the #PositionOfStrength and lead the Middle East into a brighter future. We had to make sure we shared the best with you.

You can follow along with the conversation on Twitter at #GWFDubai or from the Global Women's Forum Dubai website.
