The Emirates Women Police Association (EWPA) selected 10 female staff members from the UAE Ministry of Interior (MoI) and honored them as the “Ideal Mother”.

During the celebration held at the Police Officers Club, the EWPA presented the honorees with the Ideal Mother Award - an award that aims to further encourage the recipients to continuously exert such efforts in caring for their families and in taking care of their responsibilities both at home and work.

Major Amina Al Baloushi, Chairperson of the Emirates Women Police Association, said: “the Emirati woman is a role model for her ability to maintain the traditions and customs of the UAE all while she efficiently implements the duties and tasks that have been assigned to her.” She additionally spoke of the police leadership and for their consistent support and care provided for the EWPA in all activities and initiatives.

“Additional initiatives that have been previously introduced by the EWPA and supported by the police leaderships include: the Distinguished Military Family Award, the Ideal Mother Award, and the Distinguished Female Employee with Disabilities Award.

During the ceremony, the EWPA renewed its commitment and loyalty to the UAE and to the higher leadership; and vowed to remain a fortress and protect the achievements of the country while elevating the levels of performance in order to further promote the civilized image and positive reputation that the UAE embodies in all international forums.

The EWPA expressed the joy of its members for Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, and Chairwoman of Motherhood, Childhood Supreme Council, for being named the ‘Mother of Arabs’; as the title comes as the culmination of the values of philanthropy and charity work that extend beyond all boundaries and are not limited by restrictions.

Major Al Baloushi added: “The influential and prominent role that Her Highness plays in the promotion of  child welfare and motherhood is one that we will never forget.
