Twenty-five Years of Women’s Council Contributions

The Supreme Council for Women in Bahrain celebrates its Silver Anniversary, marking 25 years since its establishment. It is a national institution launched with a visionary direction from the King to enhance the role of Bahraini women in national development. Created as part of a comprehensive reform project and efforts to empower women and ensure their active participation in society, it is supported by high-level leadership oversight from the Queen Consort. Over the past decades, Bahraini women have undergone significant transformations in their social and economic status, becoming key partners in development, with increased participation in the workforce and greater representation in decision-making positions. Leaders emphasize that cultural and political empowerment of women has evolved from mere demands to a firmly ingrained societal culture, alongside notable progress in national policies and strategies that address women's needs and reinforce their role in nation-building. Additionally, research and study programs have contributed to data-driven policymaking and supported women's economic expansion, complemented by initiatives and projects aimed at economic empowerment. These efforts have led to more women owning enterprises and expanding their presence in vital sectors. Celebrating the golden jubilee remains a testament to the inspiring journey led by Bahraini leadership to elevate women's status and achieve distinguished national and regional accomplishments, with ongoing government support and future aspirations for complete and sustainable women's empowerment.
