In this context, Mrs. Sabeeka Al-Nasr expressed the keenness of Aman Center to participate in such conferences through which experiences and information are exchanged, by presenting the experiences of more than one country on the issue of social protection. Through this platform, emphasis was placed on clarifying the role of Aman Center in providing Services for the target groups from the very beginning of receiving the case until reaching the integration service, the aftercare, and the continuous care. She also stressed the need to take into account the feelings of children and not abusing them, as they are tomorrow's future. She clarified the side effects and the seriousness of its repercussions on societal security. Among the recommendations emphasized by Mrs. Sabeeka, everyone should work together to stop any violence or abuse of children, by highlighting the role of the authorities in establishing more civil society institutions concerned with the protection of children, establishing shelters for children at risk of serious injuries, and the inclusion of programs for educating the families and making them aware of using modern methods of education, in addition to the need to follow up on the targeted families periodically (reaching out to the houses), and enabling children to follow up with psychologists to overcome the negative psychological effects resulting from violence, and binding the abuser to receive psychological treatment, as well as allocating programs to educate children on how to protect themselves from violence.
This participation comes within the framework of the plans and programs of the Aman Center, and the Center's keenness to activate the community, regional and international partnership between it and government agencies, civil society institutions, and the public and private sectors.
