DUBAI // A five-year-plan was launched to protect women and children and promote efforts to combat human trafficking.
The “Protecting You Makes Us Happy” initiative, launched by the Dubai Foundation for Women and Children (DFWAC) and Dubai Police, is aimed at supporting and raising awareness of victims, witnesses, staff of authorities combating human trafficking and society as a whole.
“The plan seeks to make victims ‘ambassadors of the cause’ in their home countries,” said Lt Col Dr Sultan Al Jamal, head of the Dubai Police Human Trafficking Crimes Monitoring Centre. “A number of innovative programmes will be used for the first time in the plan which also aims to expand its reach overseas.”

Barings Bank
Barings, one of Britain’s oldest investment banks, was
founded in 1762 and operated for 233 years before it went bust after a trading
scandal.
Barings Bank collapsed in February 1995 following colossal
losses caused by rogue trader Nick Lesson.
Leeson gambled more than $1 billion in speculative trades,
wiping out the venerable merchant bank’s cash reserves.
