Bahrain Shifts from Power to Action
Over the course of a quarter of a century, the Higher Council for Women has contributed to strengthening the status of Bahraini women and transforming their issues from mere demands into rights and institutional policies, through the issuance of legislation and improvements in their rights related to alimony, proof, work, and housing. Supportive legal facilities and initiatives have been established, such as the alimony fund and housing initiatives for category five, which have had a tangible impact on the lives of divorced women and widows. Additionally, women's participation in the labor market and political power has increased, with their access to leadership positions, expansion into fields such as judiciary and diplomacy, and a rise in their representation in parliament and executive roles. This progress demonstrates a continuous shift from mere presence to leadership, despite ongoing challenges that require greater awareness and stimulating legislation to enable women’s full contribution across all sectors of the state.
