Manama: The Supreme Council for Women (SCW)'s Youth Committee organised two discussion sessions for young people as part of its participation in Youth City 2030.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the sessions, moderated by volunteers from the Youth Committee, were part of a series of initiatives aimed at raising awareness among young people about the objectives and priorities of the National Plan for the Advancement of Bahraini Women (2025 - 2026). These initiatives encourage young people's role in supporting the plan's implementation through community initiatives and partnerships, with youth considered key partners in achieving the SCW's plans, programmes, and goals.
The first session, led by law graduate Zahraa Al Oraibi, focused on family stability and decision-making. The second session, moderated by fellow law graduate Tofoof Hassan, explored economic participation and quality of life. Both sessions featured an interactive format that encouraged both male and female participants to exchange ideas and perspectives.
The discussions attracted strong engagement from young participants, who highlighted the importance of continuing their role in advancing the progress of Bahraini women. They addressed challenges and opportunities in the highlighted areas and presented practical proposals based on their experiences, reflecting their commitment to contributing effectively to women's leadership in national development.
The Youth Committee of the SCW was established in 2003 following the directives of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Consort of His Majesty the King and President of the SCW. The committee was created to support young men and women, prepare them to contribute to shaping national strategies for the advancement of Bahraini women, represent their aspirations, and adopt their causes. This is achieved by empowering them and equipping them with the necessary skills to support national efforts that promote strategic balance and complementarity between the roles of women and men in development.
