Protection and Social Rehabilitation Center (Aman) yesterday launched the electronic application (Shawreeni,) to provide social, psychological and legal counselling services for women.
The aim of the application is to facilitate the access of the advice provided by Aman, especially to women as the target group of the centre, where the woman or girl can request advice through this privacy and confidential application, to receive the reply within five working days through their mobile or email.
The CEO of Qatar Foundation for Social Work (QFSW), Amal bint Abdullatif Al Mannai, said that the launch of the application is an important mechanism for civil society organisations in the framework of strengthening the international obligations of the State of Qatar by activating the provisions of international conventions and charters from through applied practices to achieve women empowerment.
Al Mannai noted that this application provides easy, safe and secure service and raises the level of women’s awareness of their issues, thereby enhancing their ability to overcome the challenges they face and contributing to ensuring women’s rights through the pursuit of both access and the right to build awareness and knowledge.
Al Mannai stressed that the empowerment of women is done through capacity-building and the definition of women rights and it is noted that the Qatari Foundation for Social Action strives to achieve empowerment for all target groups, an approach that is followed by all the centers affiliated under the umbrella of the foundation.
Aman Executive Director Mansour Al Saadi noted that the centre is keen to follow a scientific methodology in all its activities and applications where the needs of women in Qatar have been studied, and these studies have proven the need for a safe application that achieves the right knowledge and enjoys independence and privacy, hence the idea of developing the application that took the work was almost six months.
The CEO of Mada, Maha Al Mansouri, said that we believe in the right of persons with functional limitations, including those with disabilities and the elderly, to access all information through applications and electronic services.
