Researchers and academics confirmed that the family fabric has become the most affected among development communities, in light of the expansion and technical trends experienced by the generations of this age.

This came under the framework of the events of the Annual Social Program in its sixth session, which was organized by the Vice Presidency for Female Student Affairs, in cooperation with the Yusr Women’s Center for two days, with the participation of female faculty members and leading family and social affairs specialists.

The speakers discussed the family roles reinforcing family members’ affiliation, and positive behaviors in dealing with children in a way that suits their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual interests. They also underlined the necessity of giving the child the freedom to make decisions, and express their opinions in accordance with the correct concepts of decision-making. In the same context, they drew attention to the most prominent factors affecting psychological stability and family and social bonding in general.

On the sidelines of the program, the UQU Vice Dean for Student Affairs, Dr. Sarah Al-Khuli, inaugurated the exhibition accompanying the event, which was organized by the students of the departments of Housing and Home Management, Fashion Design, and Interior Design at the College of Designs. In that exhibition, the students embodied the interests of women and their various fields, reflected in various corners showcasing items related to art and plastic arts, photography, printed photos, as well as creative products of home furniture and handicrafts.

Dr. Sarah Al-Khuli enunciated that educational programs and campaigns fall within the overall social responsibility of UQU.

In turn, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yusr Women's Center, Dr. Haifaa Fida, stated that the program's sixth session is again a social partnership with Umm Al-Qura University and its members, who took the lead in providing educational lectures and awareness-raising symposia tackling the program themes.
