The Shura Council has affirmed that the celebration of Bahraini Women’s Day is a national occasion to recognise the Bahraini women’s march, and it extended congratulations to every Bahraini woman who has contributed to Bahrain’s progress, in recognition of their pioneering role as an active partner in the Kingdom’s development progress.

In a statement issued during its weekly session yesterday, the Shura Council highlighted the Bahraini women’s outstanding role in local, regional and international arenas during the prosperous era of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, thanks to the government under the leadership of Prime Minister HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and constant support of Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

It noted that celebrating women in financial and banking sector this year affirms the importance of women’s role in this vital field over the past 50 years, given its impact on the Kingdom’s progress, during which women became a partner in the national development, in line with HM the King’s vision.
