The Kingdom of Bahrain places great importance on safeguarding groups most vulnerable to exploitation and continuously works to develop its programmes and centres to ensure a fair and safe working environment for all.

This was emphasised by Her Excellency Noora Isa Mubarak, LMRA’s Deputy CEO for Enforcement and Protection and a member of the National Committee for Combating Trafficking in Persons (NCCTIPs).

This came as the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) received a Qatari delegation led by Kholoud Saif Al Kubaisi, Executive Director of the Workers’ Support and Insurance Fund.

The visit aimed to learn about the Kingdom’s experience in managing and operating its shelter centre for victims and potential victims of human trafficking.

Noora highlighted the strong ties between Bahrain and Qatar and the importance of exchanging expertise to support joint efforts in combating human trafficking and protecting victims.

The meeting outlined Bahrain’s prevention and protection mechanisms, particularly the role of the shelter centre in assisting victims and potential victims.
