In addition, Al Rumaithi stated that respecting elderly people and valuing
their lifelong contributions is an approach deeply inspired by the vision of
the UAE’s wise leadership, led by President His Highness Sheikh
Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who places great significance on
instilling the values of loyalty and national recognition.

Al Rumaithi reaffirmed that FDF will continue to progress under the
visionary guidance of H.H. Sheikha Fatima, ‘Mother of the Nation,’ whose
relentless commitment to acknowledging and honouring those who have
devoted their lives to serving the country, which is based on the belief
that nation-building is incomplete without safeguarding the dignity of
those who contributed to its growth over the years.

She also extended her heartfelt gratitude to H.H. Sheikha Fatima for her
kind support and continuous care for senior citizens, a gesture that
reflects the highest standards of loyalty and generosity and strengthens
the principles of compassion and appreciation within Emirati society.

In addition, Al Rumaithi expressed her confidence in the content included
in the guide, which depicts a robust humanitarian and social commitment
to the dignified segment of the society, who have committed their lives
to supporting and developing this nation. The guide aims to raise
awareness on subtle and unintentional forms of emotional ill-treatment
