During the festive season of Eid Al Adha, children of female prisoners received clothes in the ‘You made me happy’ initiative by Dubai Police.
The campaign aims to bring happiness to the children of female inmates as part of Dubai Police’s humanitarian initiatives, said Colonel Jamila Al Zaabi, Director of the Women’s Prison.
Al Zaabi explained that the prison administration provides a positive environment for the children of female inmates. Access to suitable food and drink, regular medical check-ups, and essential reading and writing education, is ensured, she added.
“The prevailing atmosphere is primarily familial and fraternal”, she noted.
This campaign is running for its tenth consecutive year, launched by the the Child and Woman Protection Department of Dubai Police’s General Department of Human Rights, in collaboration with the General Department of Punitive and Correctional Institutions.
Along with Al Zaabi, Lieutenant Colonel Dr Ali Muhmmad Al Matroushi, Director of the Child and Woman Protection Department, and several officers and personnel from both sides also attended the launch.
The initiative “reflects our commitment to social responsibility and keenness to promote values of tolerance and love by bringing joy to children during Eid through clothing distribution,” Al Zaabi said.
