Empowerment, entrepreneurship and knowledge-sharing are some of the aspects that the Ministry of Social Development and Family is working on through its various programs for Qatari women.

The document communicates a more significant aim of a society that is cohesive and inclusive whereby women, as the co-developers of the nation, have equal rights. The change of this policy, which supports the general theme of Qatar adjusting its cultural traditions to the modern world and gender equality, is set against the background of the country's overall goal.
