By conferring this prestigious award to Sheikha Hind, Arab civil society organizations are expressing their appreciation of her initiatives and positive roles in supporting women's participation in the march of development in the UAE, Chairman of the board of directors of the Paris-based Center for Studies of Arab Women's Participation, organizer of the event, stated in a press release.

The award is also an expression of faith in Sheikha Hind for her support to all humanitarian organizations, people with special needs and for her efforts to ingrain tolerant Islamic values in girls through supporting Holy Quran Memorization contests, Karman added.

A conferral ceremony will be held next May under the auspices of the Arab League.

Last year winner of the award was Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, while Egypt's First Lady Susan Mubarak won it in 2004.

What is the likelihood of Sheikha Hind actually attending the award ceremony herself?

[Royal Friend]

If the ceremony is in Dubai, she might attend. Regardless though, someone else will read her speech. Sometimes this is one of her daughters.

[julial]

I wish I could see the pic. of Sheikha Hind. It really is only fair if she gets the limelight, not only PHaya. I wonder why S.MO thought that Sheikha Hind could not take care of the international attention. Maybe S. Mo is underestimating his first wife?

[Royal Friend]

Why does everyone think it is the man's idea to keep the wife in the background? Did you ever consider that maybe Sheikha Hind doesn't want the limelight?

[houri]

I agree with Royal friend , some times women don't like to be under the limelight , it seems that Sheikh Mohamad don't mind the limelight on his wife princess Haya or on his daughters as example one of his daughters participate in support events " I forget her name " .

I heard that Sheikha Hind is very beautiful. I can also see it on the faces of her children especialy on the face of " Sheikh Hamdan" . He is very handsom.
Unfortunately we can't see any photo of her.

[Cantik]

Does anyone have shaikha Hinda photos ? I really want to see her, why only princess Haya has a picture but shaika Hind never show up.

After all these years, not one single picture of Sheikha Hind has been found. I'd like to see this mysterious woman myself, and if I could, I'd like to attend a function just to see if the woman's even real!

[julial]

Is it only me who feels that Sheikha Hind is recently getting all these recognization since PHaya has been promoting herself? It seems that the Arab world is trying to show the support for the first lady, when the second lady is getting all the Western recognization. It sort of balances things out, although most of us do not know how she looks like. Mo is one intelligent man, who knows how to appreciate both women and perhaps make both of them happy.

Since both are representative of different facets of their country and both are Muslim, I don't see the point in trying to play them off against one another in some sort of competition. To reduce the recognition of their activities and achievements to a rivalry between "the West" and "the Arab World" is even more self-defeating.

Maybe someone could include this photo on the Kuwaiti Royalty thread. She's very beautiful...as most women from Al-Sabah family are known for their beauty and their elegance, but they don't have as much of a pr machine as some of the other Middle Eastern monarchies, i.e. Dubai, Jordan, etc...I have an old edition of Tatler with lots of Al-Sabah Sheikhas in it, but I don't have a scanner at home...It was June 2003 edition...did anyone else see it?
