Ewaa Shelters, with Sharjah, reviewing its experience in caring for 15 “people of determination” victims

 

The Shelters highlighted the gapless success in undertaking their duty, especially that it is the first time for Ewaa to provide shelter to male victims in such a number.

Director-General of Ewaa Shelters for Victims of Human Trafficking, Sara Shuhail, pointed out the financial support offered by H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, to the victims who expressed their desire to establish, upon their return, small projects in their home countries that help eliminate their destitution, and secure sustenance and living requirements for their families.

Sharjah Police Criminal Investigation Department praised the major role played by Ewaa Shelters and the fruitful mutual collaboration between Ewaa and the Department regarding all human trafficking cases.

By the end of the meeting, the two parties agreed that Ewaa shall submit recommendations made at the meeting to the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking, to take necessary action towards enforcing such recommendations.
