Bahraini Women in Municipal Roles
For a quarter of a century, Bahraini women have witnessed remarkable progress in the field of municipal work, transitioning from electoral participation to holding positions of responsibility in municipal councils. The journey of support and empowerment for women has been driven by the strategies of the Supreme Council for Women, leading to a reduction in the gap between numerical representation and actual involvement in managing local issues and services. In 2024, the percentage of women working in the public sector reached 55%, with a target to increase participation to 56% by 2026. Additionally, women now make up approximately 10% of municipal council members and 40% of the Capital Secretariat. This reflects an evolution in community presence and active contribution to local decision-making, all within a comprehensive national path supported and led by the royal family.
