Interfaith Iftar hosted by UAE Embassy in Brussels highlights the importance of unity and diversity

 



As I was scrolling through my Twitter feed, I came across a post about an interfaith iftar hosted by the UAE Embassy in Brussels. The post spoke of unity and respect for diversity, and I was immediately intrigued.

I read more about the event and was struck by the beauty of the occasion. The embassy had brought together people of different faiths, backgrounds, and cultures to break bread and share in the spirit of Ramadan. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of unity and understanding in today’s world.

I couldn’t help but feel inspired by the example set by the UAE Embassy in Brussels. In a time of division and polarization, it was heartening to see people from all walks of life coming together to celebrate their differences and find common ground.

As I continued to read about the event, I was reminded of the words of the late Nelson Mandela: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

The interfaith iftar hosted by the UAE Embassy in Brussels was a powerful demonstration of this principle. It showed that, despite our differences, we can come together in peace and harmony, and that by doing so, we can build a better world for all.

Dubai Police: Leading the Way in Breaking Gender Stereotypes in Law Enforcement

Image
  Dubai Police  is breaking gender stereotypes with its progressive approach to recruitment and promotion. Traditionally, law enforcement has been a male-dominated field, with women facing many obstacles to their participation. However, in recent years, Dubai Police has made significant strides in promoting gender equality in the workplace. One of the most significant changes has been the recruitment of women into the police force. In 2019, Dubai Police announced that it had achieved a gender balance of 50/50 in its workforce, with women making up 20% of the police force. This was a significant achievement, considering that just a few years earlier, women made up less than 5% of the force.
