The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched a global initiative called SAFE-T (Safe and Fair Technology) to combat digital abuse against women. The initiative was unveiled during the 15th UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Abu Dhabi and aims to address violence against women through digital media, information, and communication technologies.
The SAFE-T Initiative combines legislation, digital literacy, and international cooperation, with the goal of narrowing the digital divide and empowering women to participate fully in public life. The programme is being implemented through a partnership between the General Women's Union (GWU), the Ministry of Justice, and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.
