Hemaya School for Girls Organises Awareness Lectures on the Wadeema Child Rights Law

As part of Hemaya School for Girls’ commitment to raising awareness of children’s rights and promoting a culture of protection and safety, Academic Counsellor Ms Doaa Mohammed delivered a series of guidance and awareness lectures for Grade 5 students on the UAE Child Rights Law (Wadeema’s Law).

The lectures introduced students to fundamental children’s rights, including the right to education, healthcare, and protection from abuse, neglect, and violence. They also raised students’ awareness of their rights and responsibilities and guided them on how to respond appropriately to situations that may threaten their safety or affect their rights.

The sessions also highlighted the importance of expressing personal needs, seeking help when necessary, and communicating with trusted individuals and relevant authorities when support or protection is required.

The lectures contributed to raising students’ awareness, strengthening their self-confidence, and reinforcing the values of respect and responsibility, while supporting a safe and supportive school environment that protects students’ rights and wellbeing.
