A forum to boost the economic empowerment of Bahraini women through sectoral analysis, digital transformation and policy alignment is set to be held in Bahrain today.
‘Al Nahdha Forum for the Economic Empowerment of Bahraini Women’ by the Bahrain Young Ladies Association (BYLA) will bring together change-makers across various sectors under one roof.
The event, at the InterContinental Bahrain, coincides with association’s 70th anniversary this year and will feature a keynote address from Supreme Council for Women (SCW) representative and engineer Mariam Jumaan.
Some of the topics to be highlighted at the forum will include economic policies to empower Bahraini women in the banking sector; technology, artificial intelligence and digital transformation programmes and their influence on women in the labour market; the roles of the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) and private sector, and how civil society institutions can build a digital economy that supports women.
A BYLA representative will present a paper from a social viewpoint.
“The forum this year carries a bold and forward-looking vision: To transform the concept of women’s empowerment from rhetoric into actionable frameworks that shape Bahrain’s economic future,” forum committee head Zainab Alderazi told the GDN.
