Princess Sabeeka seeks excellence in women’s advancement

HRH Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, wife of His Majesty the King and Supreme Council for Women (SCW) Chairwoman, has said Bahraini Women’s Day, eight years after it was launched, has become a spectacular national event on the national occasions’ agenda celebrated in the Kingdom of Bahrain each year.

The special day is considered a good opportunity to consolidate the progress of women in the country, and the focus this year is on the advancement of Bahraini women in the financial and banking sector in order to showcase their ongoing successes and record their accomplishments since they have entered it more than 50 years ago.

Princess Sabeeka emphasised that the Bahraini Women’s Day this year has been dedicated to celebrate working women in the financial and banking sector in line with the historical accomplishments achieved by women in this sector and their capacity to effectively contribute to consecrating Bahrain’s role as a leading regional and international financial hub.

On this occasion, Princess Sabeeka offered her congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, affirming that if it had not been for the Royal patronage and wise directives of His Majesty, women could not have attained top decision-making positions or obtained quality opportunities made available to them in new fields of work, which began to qualify them appropriately and in which they were able to prove their merit and continue to progress.

Her Royal Highness has affirmed the Council’s constant keenness on supporting all state institutions to fulfil their constitutional obligations towards the participation of Bahraini women and supporting their numerous developmental roles in this aspect. Her Royal Highness appreciated the efforts of the Government, under the premiership of Prime Minister HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and support of Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

Princess Sabeeka congratulated the Bahraini community on this national occasion, which has been dedicated to the Bahraini women in all fields.
