Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai, handed out prizes at the Gender Balance Index 2018 ceremony in Dubai on Sunday.

And the Men swept the awards beating women in every place

While all four awards were accepted by men, Sheik Mohammed acknowledged the work of one woman: his own daughter Sheika Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoumm whose husband is the Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE..
