New Administration for the Bahrain Women’s Society
The Bahrain Women’s Society elected its Board of Directors under
the slogan ‘The female quota is a necessary requirement for women
to reach decision- making positions’. The former president of the
Society Eman Showayter said in her speech that the quota is a necessary
requirement: ‘we believe that it is important that women reach decision-making
positions in the Council, parliamentary elections, and even in government
jobs or the private sector’. She pointed to the fact that the Society
officials want to deliver a clear message to officials and the authority
that the quota is an important requirement, and a temporary procedure
required by the current period as well as the international agreements
signed by the Kingdom, in order to empower women.
