First Lady distributes certificates to female prisoners
25-10-2018
Dar Al Amal Association distributed yesterday certificates among 30 female inmates of Central Women’s Prison-Baabda who completed training courses on handicrafts, makeup, computer and foreign language. The aim of the courses, according to Dar al Amal, is to turn the prison into a livable place for rehabilitation rather than for mistreatment and punishment. During the ceremony, the First Lady, Nadia Chami Aoun, who handed the certificates to the beneficiaries, stressed the importance of the continued support to female prisoners, in particular, through social integration and rehabilitation programs in line with international human rights conventions, and proportionate to their benefits to the community. This, Aoun said, contributes to the reduction of the rate of crime and upgrading the jail to become a reformatory. Aoun toured the prison halls, including the rooms of inmates who shared with her their experiences and stories. For her part, Dar al Amal director, Huda Qura, pointed out that the prison, which consists of five rooms, houses 110 female inmates, including 18 sentenced and the rest are under arrest. Qura underlined the importance of the workshops which empower prisoners in many areas. (Al Mustaqbal, Al Diyar, October 25, 2018)
