Improving working conditions to enhance women's role in the police
The Police Centers in Khormaksar, Al-Arish, and Mualla faced unsuitable working conditions, which directly impacted the ability of female archivists and investigators to perform their duties efficiently. There was a clear lack of basic facilities, such as sanitary services and office spaces, making it difficult for women to work in a supportive environment. This situation called for comprehensive changes to ensure a conducive work environment that would enable them to carry out their tasks effectively.
In response to these challenges, "PASS," foundation in collaboration with the Aden Security Department, conducted a comprehensive needs assessment at the targeted police Centers. Based on the findings, concrete steps were taken to improve the infrastructure. These steps included renovating restrooms, installing sunshades to provide comfort for staff, and setting up solar energy systems in the women's police departments. Additionally, air conditioners, computers, and printers were installed to facilitate the work of the documentation officers and enhance their efficiency.
These improvements were essential to ensure a healthy and safe working environment that reflects the importance of supporting women in security institutions. The project was systematically implemented, starting with the provision of necessary materials and the hiring of qualified workers to complete the renovation and upgrades. Efforts focused on creating a comfortable and safe environment that enables women to perform their duties professionally and effectively.
As a result of these changes, significant positive impacts were observed on the performance of female archivists and investigators. The work environment improved notably, leading to higher morale and increased productivity. This project reflects a genuine commitment to improving working conditions and enhancing the role of women in the police force.
If these efforts continue, they are expected to further strengthen women's rights and their vital role in security institutions, contributing to a more inclusive and effective working environment.
