DUBAI // Victims of domestic violence can request assistance using an updated Dubai Police app on their smartphones.
Brig Gen Mohammed Al Murr, the director of the general human rights department, said the app is important to help provide support and welfare for victims of abuse, especially women, children and special-needs people.
To request assistance, users only have to access the corresponding page via their smart devices and provide the required information specifying the type of assistance needed, the nature of the complaint, visa type, phone number and email, in addition to information about the abuser.
The sender then receives a confirmation message via SMS or email, along with an application number for follow-up queries.

Hydrogen: Market potential
Hydrogen has an estimated $11 trillion market potential, according to Bank of America Securities and is expected to generate $2.5tn in direct revenues and $11tn of indirect infrastructure by 2050 as its production increases six-fold.
"We believe we are reaching the point of harnessing the element that comprises 90 per cent of the universe, effectively and economically,” the bank said in a recent report.
Falling costs of renewable energy and electrolysers used in green hydrogen production is one of the main catalysts for the increasingly bullish sentiment over the element.
The cost of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production has halved over the last five years and will fall to 60 to 90 per cent by the end of the decade, acceding to Haim Israel, equity strategist at Merrill Lynch. A global focus on decarbonisation and sustainability is also a big driver in its development.
