ABU DHABI- H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, has stated that the UAE is a leading country in the safe use of the Internet, and is always working to raise the publics awareness, especially among young men and women, to follow the correct procedures when using social media.
In her statement marking the annual Safer Internet Day on 6th February, Sheikha Fatima said that local, regional and international statistics and studies highlight a considerable increase in users that inflict harm and damage society via the World Wide Web. The UAE has therefore succeeded in spreading social awareness among Internet users, to explain the dangers of inappropriate use and also benefit from its many positive aspects, she added.
Her Highness stressed that parents must teach their children about better behaviour when using the Internet and social networking sites, and also warn them on the dangers of inappropriate web use.
UAE women also have a responsibility to monitor their children and teach them about the appropriate use of the internet and how not to become influenced by negative content on social media, especially in the early stages of childhood, so they can avoid the dangers posed by those who promote subversion and evil, Sheikha Fatima concluded.
