Royal praise of Bahraini women's advancement lauded

Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of His Majesty the King and President of the Supreme Council for Women (SCW), said that the royal vision and its strong conviction that paved the way for Bahraini women and provided them with the qualitative opportunities to achieve an advanced status in the Bahraini society is a source of pride.

“We draw from this vision unequivocal signs that confirm that the progress of Bahraini women is moving forward without interruption and that they have become a factor of steadfastness and stability that is indispensable in building the future Bahrain,” HRH Princess Sabeeka said in comments on the address by HM the King at the opening of the last session of the four-year term of the current Council of Representatives.
HRH added that HM the King has carefully defined the position and status of Bahraini women and decided unambiguously that they have gone beyond the traditional empowerment stages to hold their natural places in the areas of work and construction.
Such an advanced status is consistent with the nation-building process.
Bahraini women have been active in various areas for one hundred, which paved the way for their early entry in the process and mark it with their clear imprint, as is attested and evidenced by the honourable figures and statistics, HRH said.
“The royal visions must be reflected in all national policies and plans to ensure the sustainability of Bahraini women's progress and to preserve their achievements and qualitative successes.”
