    Bahrain Empowers Women

    In September 2022, Bahraini women from numerous departments of the Ministry of Interior participated in a training program in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) patronized by Emirati Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak.

    Dubbed the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak for Women, Peace, and Security (FBMWPS) program, it was developed to address the impact of war on women and underscore the importance of women’s equal participation in resolving conflict. It was organized by the Women’s Union in the United Arab Emirates

    FBMWPS aims to review the achievements and challenges related to the implementation of a United Nations Security Council resolution from 2000 on women, peace and security.

    Acknowledging the disproportionate impact of armed conflict on women and girls, the resolution calls for the adoption of a gender perspective to consider the needs of women and girls during conflict, post-conflict reconstruction, repatriation and resettlement, reintegration, and rehabilitation. 

    About 134 women from Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, the UAE and Yemen  participated in the first round of the 15-week FBMWPS program held in January 2019 at Khawla bint Al Azwar Military School in the UAE.

    The participation of Bahraini women in FBMWPS coincided with the celebration of the 21st anniversary of Bahrain’s Supreme Council for Women. 

    On this occasion, the head of the Bahrain Bankers Syndicate, Nora al-Fayhani said: “This bright time in which Bahraini women live has come because of the hard work for more than two decades, during which the Supreme Council for Women, under the leadership of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, enabled women to occupy key positions in all sectors.”

    Chaired by Princess Sabeeka, the Supreme Council for Bahraini Women was established in 2001 as part of a reform project of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, offering Bahraini women unlimited support and opportunities to pursue gender equality at all levels.

    The council develops programs to educate women about their rights and duties, offering them social and legal consultations and family-related arbitration throughout Bahrain.
