The book deals with social responsibility to spread awareness among members of society and discusses its nature, objectives, types and how to apply them, and the obstacles to its application. It highlights Qatar’s role in carrying out social responsibility at the local and international levels and Qatari women’s role, besides shedding light on work ethics, Al Saeed added.
“The book also deals with women and their role in social responsibility in raising children. It sheds light on the role of Qatari women, especially in times of crisis, and the interest of Qatari leaders in supporting women in Qatar, and motivating them to carry out their social burdens and participate in public life,” she added.
