The Dubai Foundation for Women and Children (DFWAC) and the Higher Committee for the Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi were announced as the winners by the Delegation of the European Union to the UAE.

The DFWAC awarding ceremony will be taking place on December 10, coinciding with the 71st anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
