The Dubai Police, represented by the\nChild and Women Protection Department in the General Department of Human\nRights, has ended the suffering of three children who were deprived of\neducation and healthcare for a year after their father abandoned them and their\nmother, taking their passports with him. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The children, aged 3, 8, and 10, could\nnot obtain replacement passports due to the consulate’s refusal to carry out\nprocedures without a written\nconsent signed by both\nparents, who had ongoing custody\ndisputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonel Dr. Ali Muhammad Al Matrooshi,\nDirector of the Child and Women Protection Department, stated that the mother\nhad tried tirelessly for a year to find a solution and obtain identification\npapers for her three children through the consulate. Still, the consulate\nrepeatedly refused, citing its law that prohibits the issuance of a passport\nwithout a written\nconsent signed by both\nparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this time, the mother was unable\nto enrol her children in schools or provide them with health insurance due to\nthe lack of identification papers. When all other avenues failed, and she could\nnot find a solution with the consulate, the mother sought help from the Child\nOasis in the General Department of Human Rights at the Dubai Police General HQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonel Al Matrooshi explained that\nArticle 11 of Federal Law No. 3 of 2016 on the Child Rights Law, aka\n“Wadeema”, both parents or those with legal authority over a child\nare required to obtain documents proving the child’s birth, nationality, and\nother identification papers in accordance with the laws of the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given that the mother obtained a court ruling from\nthe appropriate jurisdiction in Dubai that granted her custody of her children, Dubai Police reached Dubai Courts for a\ncourt order to issue passports for the three\nchildren in\ncooperation with the\nconsulate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonel Al Matrooshi emphasized that the\nUAE law guarantees a child’s right to identity, allowing the child to have an\nindependent entity and identity like everyone else in society, including a\nname, family, date of birth, nationality, and access to protection, rights, and\nservices from their home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out the various communication\nchannels through which anyone can report child rights violations, including the\nWomen and Child Protection Service on the Dubai Police website, the Dubai\nPolice smart app, by calling 901, and by seeking help at the Child Oasis at the\nmain HQ in Al Tawar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
