SLC Secretary General

on Emirati Children’s Day 2024

March 14, 2024:

“On Emirati Children’s Day, the UAE proudly celebrates its significant achievements in child

welfare and the protection of children’s rights. Through a comprehensive legislative framework,
the UAE ensures the well-being of children and advocates for their rights, fostering awareness,
empowerment, and care. This day reflects the profound commitment of our wise leadership to

nurture and safeguard the rights of children, recognising their pivotal role as architects of the
future. Guided by this ethos, the UAE has emerged as a global model for protecting children’s

rights and crafting robust legal frameworks to ensure the proper upbringing of future
generations. Emirati Children’s Day serves as an opportunity to promote family and community

awareness about the need to provide children with nurturing environments conducive to their
holistic development, thus equipping them to grow into future contributors to the UAE’s

advancement across all domains. On this occasion, we, at the Supreme Legislation Committee in
the Emirate of Dubai (SLC), reiterate our commitment to supporting national efforts aimed at

safeguarding children by overhauling the legislative system to ensure the protection,
empowerment, and well-being of children.”
