Under the supervision of the Dean of the Post-graduate Institute for Accounting and Financial Studies, Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Mohammed Thajil Al-Maamouri, the Institute’s Human Rights Unit, as part of the International Human Rights Week activities, held a workshop entitled “Children’s Rights: Between Societal Values and Parental Guardianship” in the Institute’s hall. The workshop was presented by Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Mohammed Thajil Al-Maamouri, Dean of the Institute, and Assistant Lecturer Uday Ubaid Zaidan, Head of the Institute’s Human Rights Unit. A number of staff members, faculty members, and postgraduate students from the Institute participated.
The workshop highlighted the importance of providing a safe and healthy life, along with the right to education, to ensure the holistic development of the child’s personality. This protects the child from all forms of abuse, exploitation, and discrimination, and empowers their participation in society, leading to their well-being and physical, mental, and spiritual growth. Children’s rights encompass several aspects, most importantly the right to life, the right to food, the right to a name, the right to education, the right to health, the right to freedom, the right to protection, and many other rights.
These activities are classified within the Environment and Sustainability Goals in achieving Goal (11) to ensure that cities and human settlements are inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
