8/18/25, 4:01 PM UAE: Human trafficking survivor gets Dubai Police diploma, helps raise awareness | Khaleej Times
“The diploma gave me a chance to deepen my understanding of this crime and share knowledge with
my colleagues in the private security sector,” he said. “Knowledge and awareness are the best
preventive measures. They can save lives by helping us recognise the signs and protect potential
victims.”

The UAE has taken significant steps in recent years to strengthen the fight against human trafficking.
In 2023, the Cabinet adopted amendments to the law, expanding services for victims such as

educational support and safe return to their home countries. The legislation also tightened sanctions,
criminalising incitement to commit trafficking and increasing penalties for perpetrators.

According to the UAE government, combating human trafficking is part of a comprehensive action
plan that focuses on prevention, prosecution of traffickers, protection of survivors, and promotion of
international cooperation. The country maintains a network of shelters, raises awareness of the
crime, and enforces penalties, including a minimum fine of Dh100,000 and at least five years in jail

for offenders.
