Institutions are open to participate in the WELC Safety Awards 2023 by clicking on this link.
What is the WELC Safety Awards?
Women, Elderly & Children Safety Awards (WELC Safety Awards) founded in 2022, occurs twice a year, in which any Institutions or Organizations can participate for free, and get recognitions for their efforts towards supporting UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and making the world a safer place for women, elderly, and children.
As we live in the world of insecurities, it is everyone’s necessity to be brave and courageous to raise their voice against violence, and it’s in our hands to create a crime-free safe world.
All kinds of violence can be prevented, if we properly educate and create safety awareness among the younger generation, and make use of the appropriate safety tools.
