He
added that the Faculty of Social Work participated in two awareness seminars
titled: Domestic Violence and Its Impact on Society, and Reproductive Health
and Women's Health.
Dr.
Mohamed Abdel-Aal addressed the concept of domestic violence as a serious
social phenomenon that threatens family cohesion and societal stability. He
emphasized that its negative effects extend to include psychological and physical
disorders, increase crime and violence rates, and impact productivity and
socio-economic development. This necessitates concerted efforts from civil
society and government agencies to provide a safe environment that supports
family members.
Dr. Samar
Tarek Hussein also stressed the importance of reproductive and women's health
and their role in improving quality of life and community development. She
pointed out the necessity of providing healthcare for women at all stages of
their lives, from pregnancy and childbirth to regular checkups and prevention
of sexually transmitted infections, in addition to raising awareness about
family planning. This contributes to reducing mortality rates and the spread of
diseases, and enhances women's ability to participate effectively in society.
She
noted that the Community Problems Monitoring Unit, under the supervision of Dr.
Basma Abdel-Latif Amin, is conducting a field survey to identify the
population's needs in the educational, health, social, and service sectors,
with a focus on infrastructure, job opportunities, and income improvement. With
the aim of providing an accurate database that helps decision-makers and
stakeholders in local development to develop appropriate policies and solutions.
