Mrs. Humaid is a passionate advocate for the protection of vulnerable sections of our communities. Her extensive interactions with various civil society stakeholders led her to realize the vast and untapped potential of faith leaders—given their relevance and reach—in promoting the safety and security of vulnerable groups. This led her to establish the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities (IAFSC) with other like-minded civil society members.
Headquartered in Switzerland, the IAFSC aims to mobilize faith and spiritual leaders to play a more active role in ensuring the safety of their communities. In her capacity as the Chief Executive of the IAFSC, Mrs. Humaid leads a number of initiatives to combat threats faced by communities such as child sexual abuse, hate crimes, and hate speech.
A career law enforcement professional, Mrs. Humaid works with the UAE’s Ministry of Interior, where she is responsible for driving the Ministry’s international collaboration agenda. She plays an active role in ensuring the safety of children in the UAE by overseeing the Ministry’s Child Protection Centre. She has led multiple initiatives to combat online child sexual abuse (OCSE), both within the UAE and at the international level.
Mrs. Humaid serves as a Board Member on the WEPROTECT Global Alliance, an international coalition that works to eliminate OCSE. She also serves as a Board Member of the Virtual Global Taskforce, a coalition of law enforcement agencies combatting OCSE. She is the Co-Chair of AI for Safer Children (AI4SC), a joint initiative between UNICRI and the UAE Ministry of Interior to leverage the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning. She also heads the Secretariat of the Secure Communities Forum, a collaborative platform that brings together professionals from a wide range of disciplines together to network and collaborate on community safety.
