DUBAI - As part of the one-week awareness campaign against transvestism, "Preserve our social values', the Dubai Police, in collaboration with Watani Programme, held a seminar recently on the dangers of dressing like people of the opposite sex and its impact on society.

Adel Al  Marzouki, Head of Guidance at Islamic Affairs and Charitable Work, said the phenomenon of transgender dressing has increased among Emirati youth studying in high schools and colleges, especially over the past five years, due to lack of religious awareness, he said.

Addressing the seminar, Al Marzouki said 10 years ago, one could find only one or two transvestite students in a school, but now there would be at least 10 such students in each school.

He attributed this trend to the lack of parental attention where small children are left in unsupervised care of housemaids, broken homes and working parents.

He also blamed the media and movies, some of which encourage the phenomenon in the UAE society.

Al Marzouki warned people, particularly the youth, about the dangers of transgender dressing and its impact on the society and Islam.

He pointed out all religious books have deemed sodomy and homosexuality immoral and it's against human nature. All those who practise homosexuality are violating the teachings of the holy books.
