You are misunderstanding Sheikha Fatima's role. In virtually all of the news links in this thread she is not acting as the "First Lady" of Abu Dhabi; she is instead Chairperson of the UAE Women's Federation (also referred to as the UAE General Women's Union), Supreme Chairperson of the Family Development Foundation and Chairwoman of the Arab Women's Organisation. So you can see that her interests and activities lie with women's issues in the UAE as a whole and more generally across the Arab world. This is the reason the thread header states "Abu Dhabi and UAE".

In some of the news links she is referred to as "The Mother of the Nation", a title of respect accorded to her as the wife of the late Sheikh Zayed in his role as founding President of the United Arab Emirates.

In a recent article published on Newsweek.com, Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and founder of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, singles out Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the ‘Mother of the Nation’, as having spearheaded universal education for women in the UAE in the 1970s.
