Doha: Protection and Social Rehabilitation Centre (AMAN) recently announced it launched a week-long awareness campaign for women, children and victims of domestic violence at one of Doha’s shopping malls to educate them on its 919 hotline service.
The center, part of Qatar Social Work Foundation, said the campaign seeks to disseminate awareness and education that promote the protection and social rehabilitation to reduce domestic violence and reintegrate the affected victims within society through informing about any violence against the targeted categories, and offering needed protection via specialized and highly professional cadres who can accurately monitor initial diagnostic indicators and statistics as well as documenting required data and answering inquiries.
AMAN’s Head of Hotlines and Support Department Reem Al Sendi said the center was keen to raise the awareness of parents and the targeted groups of the 919 hotline, stressing her confidence that the campaign would reduce all forms of violence.

AMAN Technical Production Director Maha Al Mannai said the targeted groups can reach the center by calling the 919 Hotline, which is available round the clock to apply for social protection and consultative, social, legal and psychological services.
She stressed the center was keen to cooperate with all relevant organizations to achieve the objectives of women and child protection, adding that some foreign languages were incorporated within their service in a bid to cover all residents nationwide, particularly with FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 drawing near.
