The foundation will offer its services to all eligible nationals living in Dubai by providing them the necessary assistance, including shelter, health care and counselling.
The new establishment will also offer rehabilitation services to the women and children to facilitate their integration into society and help them find sources of income.
City of Hope (CoH), a social organisation that provides temporary shelter to abuse victims, is expected to be merged with this foundation, to form a bigger body. However, the details, such as the new foundation’s name, are yet to be announced.
“I am very excited about this new law,” said Sharla Musabih, founder of CoH. “We have been in meetings with the government for the past few months and I am very happy with the outcome. As a country with a fast-growing population, Dubai needs to have the means to handle such abuse cases.”
Dr Raymond H. Hamdan, a clinical and forensic psychologist at the Human Relations Institute, who claims to be involved in the planning of the new foundation, said: “This (foundation) is a wake-up call as abuse is a matter of very serious concern.
The police too have to be educated on how to deal with these cases. Eventually, I do hope this awareness extends to men as well, as there have been many cases where men are too embarrassed to report being abused by their wives,” he said.
The foundation will have a board which shall run and supervise its day-to-day activities and take the appropriate decisions towards achieving its objectives. A chief executive officer will also be appointed to take care of these responsibilities.
