Africa is undergoing a tech-driven transformation, overcoming regulatory challenges while its startup ecosystem thrives. India’s legal framework is evolving rapidly, keeping pace with its expanding economy and diverse business environment.
We also dive into China’s regulatory shifts, particularly how they are shaping investments in the MENA region, and explore Korea’s innovative global partnerships, which are driving advancements in industries across the UAE and beyond.
Read NowAl Tamimi & Company (“Al Tamimi“), the largest law firm in the Middle East with 17 offices across 9 countries, has launched its ‘Children of Tomorrow’ Project as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility commitment.
The Project aims to raise awareness of existing laws governing the welfare and rights of children (including Federal Law No.3 of 2016, on Child Rights (Wadeema’s Law)) within every school in the UAE, both public and private.
Pending the establishment of certain UAE bodies in line with the Executive Regulations of the Law, the Project aims to connect various key stakeholders and officials in the UAE (such as the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Education, Community Development Authority, Knowledge and Human Development Authority), bringing them together to address the key issues and consider the best approach to optimise protection against child abuse.
Awareness videos were prepared (in both Arabic and English) and circulated to all UAE schools on 13 January 2019. The videos provide practical advice and delve into key aspects to consider in relation to child safety, such as:
We would like to thank Major Abdul Rahman from the Ministry of Interior, Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS Dubai) and the Al Tamimi project team for their involvement in developing the videos.
At seminars scheduled to take place at Al Tamimi’s Dubai and Abu Dhabi offices in early March 2019, teachers, school representatives and other stakeholders will be able to come together to ask further questions to those leading the roll-out of the Project, as well as representatives from the relevant ministries.
We would like to express our gratitude for the tremendous support we have received from authorities, ministries and schools in the run up to the launch of this initiative, and look forward to developing it further during 2019.
The videos can be viewed in Arabic or English. The full brochure is also attached.
