Shelter for victims of human trafficking
The UAE Red Crescent Authority (UAE RCA) in collaboration with the UAE National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking (NCCHT) announced the opening of a new centre in Abu Dhabi for sheltering women and children who are victims of human trafficking and other forms of abuse or exploitation.
The centre will serve as a safe haven for the victims, where they will be provided medical care, counselling and social support.
Dr Anwar Mohammed Gargash, Minister of State for FNC Affairs and head of the NCCHT stated that this initiative comes in line with the UAE strategy to combat human trafficking.
He said the decision to establish this shelter reiterates the UAE’S strong commitment to combat the transnational crime of human trafficking, and focuses on the four major pillars of the UAE National Committee’s strategy to tackle this issue which includes strengthening legislation, enforcing laws and training law enforcement officials, providing support and protection to the victims and promoting bilateral and international cooperation in tackling this issue.
