The defense was attended by the Dean of the College, Professor Dr. Hatem Fahd Al-Tai, the Head of the Department, Firas Abbas Fadhel, and several faculty members.
The study, presented by student Vivian Abdul Ghani Hamed Ahmed, examined the social care provided to people with disabilities and how this care helps promote social peace.
The thesis aimed to analyze the impact of caring for people with special needs, specifically the visually impaired, on fostering social peace.
