Statement by H.E. Dr. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi,

SLC Secretary General, On Emirati Children’s Day 2026

14 March 2026 Emirati Children’s Day is an annual occasion on which the UAE,
-

through its institutions and all segments of the society, reaffirms its steadfast

commitment to empowering children and safeguarding their rights. It reflects the
nation’s holistic approach, guided by the vision of our wise leadership, which places

people at the heart of sustainable development. This ensures that children are
supported by strong institutions, a cohesive society, and an engaged community.

The UAE’s advanced legislative system has been instrumental in creating a supportive

environment that enables children to grow, thrive, and realise their aspirations. It
safeguards their rights to education, care, and safety, while fostering a spirit of

innovation and creativity among children, empowering them to actively participate in
building the UAE’s future and strengthening its global leadership role.

On this occasion, we at the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai

(SLC), reaffirm our unwavering commitment to supporting the UAE’s prudent
approach by providing children with all forms of support and means of empowerment,

in line with the nation’s broader goals of enhancing quality of life, strengthening family

cohesion, and promoting social solidarity.

We also reaffirm our resolve to continue fostering a legislative and societal culture
that promotes awareness of children’s rights and contributes to the development of a

confident and creative generation capable of contributing to the UAE’s sustainable
development.
