The United Arab Emirates has been at the forefront of championing human rights causes internationally. It is widely acknowledged for its humanitarian and development assistance to countries around the world, with a specific focus on empowering women and children.
Recent data shows the UAE extended critical aid to over 134 countries since 2015. This aid has helped improve access to healthcare, education, food and shelter for millions affected by poverty, conflicts and natural disasters. Just last year, the Emirates distributed over $1.1 billion worth of aid, largely through the Emirates Red Crescent association.
A major aspect of the UAE's philosophy of humanitarian interventions is empowering vulnerable sections of society. It has implemented targeted programs to promote rights of women and children across geographies. Some notable initiatives include the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Girls Leadership Program, which economically supports female-headed households globally.
The nation also launched the Maharat Center in 2018 to spread awareness about women's rights in the MENA region through workshops, advocacy and strategic partnerships. Under the Girls Learn, Women Earn project as well, it works to provide education and skill-building opportunities for girls in poor communities.
Acknowledging the UAE's efforts, the Union Association for Human Rights recently praised the country for its active support to various UN initiatives on human rights and humanitarian affairs. The association reiterated the Emirates' firm belief in upholding international norms and laws that protect civilians, especially women and children affected by conflicts.
Through its growing international aid network and commitment to sustainable development, the UAE is leaving its mark as a compassionate global citizen. It will continue championing human rights and equitable progress in line with its vision of enabling people worldwide to lead dignified lives.
