Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Supreme Council for Women is Bahrain''s advisory body to the government on women''s issues. It is chaired by Sheikha Sabika bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, the wife of Bahrain''s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. Its secretary general is Lulwa Al Awadhi, who was given the rank of honorary cabinet minister in 2001. The Supreme Council was established to promote women''s rights in the Kingdom and women''s full participation in society, and has been at the forefront of the campaign for the introduction of a unified personal status law (see women''s political rights in Bahrain for more details). It has also published studies, worked to coordinate campaigns with other women''s rights groups, and sought to promote female candidates for the 2006 municipal and general elections. Among the candidates contesting the 2006 poll, to be held on 26 November 2006, is the Council''s Dr Munira Fakhro, who is standing for the ex-Marxist Waad.
