The Women’s Union Forms a Political
Empowerment Committee
The leader in the Women’s Union Fatima Rabi’a said that the Union
will form a committee called ‘Political empowerment’, which aims
to spread awareness amongst Bahraini Women about their political
rights and empower them so that they can reach higher positions.
She also said that the Union will partake in activities that will
spread awareness, including organizing seminars and workshops. Also,
the Union intends to benefit from the experience of the female members
of the Kuwaiti National Assembly who had gone through a unique experience
by reaching Parliament after fierce competition. Rabi’a also believes
that Bahraini women should follow in the footsteps of their Kuwaiti
sisters in relation to political activism and that Bahraini women
can be actively involved in politics, and stand side by side with
their male counterparts in all positions. (Al Ayam Newspaper 29/09/2009)
