Within the project of sponsoring the gifted, which is adopted by the Cultural Center at the University of Basrah, the College of Engineering, in cooperation with the Cultural Center, presented a film entitled “Red in bold” directed by the student Doaa Imad Al-Helfi, during which she discussed domestic violence, especially violence against children and its impact on society.
Violence is considered a phenomenon that threatens the security and safety of children, and children witness harmful practices that violate their psychological or physical rights, leaving a wide range of long-term negative effects and consequences on children and on society as a whole, by causing physical pain to the child in a way that humiliates his dignity, which impedes his later development, and destabilizes children's self-confidence and self-esteem, then leads to society's rotation in the wheel of poverty and exclusion.
According to the Assistant Dean for Administrative Affairs, Dr. Musab Adel Ali, the College of Engineering is keen to support the activities of the Cultural Center.
