Arab Woman of the Year Award


The Arab Woman of the Year Award was created in 2015 and is organized by the London Arabia Organisation with support from the Mayor of London, Regent's University London, and corporate partners. Multiple awards are given each year to honor women's work in a range of categories. An event with a similar name, the Arab Woman Awards, is hosted by the UAE, and the Takreem organization also honors an "Arab Woman of the Year."
