The Arab Women Institution bestowed on her in 2015 the title of Goodwill Ambassador for Women and Children in the Arab world.
Ms. Gimish has won a number of awards during her career including the Distinguished Press Coverage of Social Issues Award presented by the Emirates’ Society for Social Development in 2016 for her investigative report on suffering of kidney dialysis patients.
Sharjah University’s Communication Faculty honoured Ms. Gimish this week by filming a documentary of her life.
