Sheikha Fatima Reviews Progress on Child and Motherhood Initiatives

Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood (SCMC), recently visited the council's headquarters in Abu Dhabi. The visit comes ahead of two key events: the upcoming Emirati Children's Day on March 15 and the Fatima bint Mubarak Forum for Motherhood and Childhood later this year.

During her visit, Sheikha Fatima received briefings on the extensive preparations underway for both occasions. The discussions focused on the Emirati Children's Day theme, "The Child's Right to Protection," highlighting the UAE's commitment to safeguarding children's well-being. The council outlined its plans for activities and events aimed at raising awareness about child rights and promoting a supportive environment for their development.

Sheikha Fatima also reviewed the progress on the Fatima bint Mubarak Forum for Motherhood and Childhood. This prestigious forum, scheduled for October 2024, serves as a platform for international dialogue on critical issues related to child and maternal welfare. Discussions at the forum will encompass a range of topics, including early childhood development, education, and healthcare.

The Sheikha's visit underscores her unwavering dedication to the well-being of children and mothers in the UAE. The SCMC, established under her leadership in 2003, has played a pivotal role in advancing these priorities. The council's initiatives encompass various aspects of child and maternal care, including promoting access to quality healthcare, fostering early childhood education, and supporting the development of strong families.

Sheikha Fatima's commitment extends beyond the UAE's borders. As the Mother of the Nation, she champions child and maternal well-being on a global scale. Her efforts have garnered international recognition, with the SCMC actively collaborating with international organizations like UNICEF to address global challenges in child and maternal health.

The upcoming Emirati Children's Day and the Fatima bint Mubarak Forum represent significant opportunities to showcase the UAE's dedication to fostering a nurturing environment for children and mothers. Sheikha Fatima's leadership and vision continue to pave the way for a brighter future for generations to come.
