Women’s Rights

We focus on protecting women’s rights in Bahrain, including family and employment rights and protection from violence and discrimination, supporting access to legal advice and understanding of available options.

Women have advanced in education, health and public participation. Raising awareness of rights and addressing practical challenges remain an important part of community and legal work.

Areas of Support

• Domestic violence, harassment and abuse.
• Discrimination and employment disputes.
• Divorce, custody, guardianship and family rights.
• Cooperation with relevant authorities and associations on awareness and support.

Lawyer Alya Alzeera participates in community work concerning women’s rights, including relevant committees and associations. We seek to increase awareness through seminars, workshops and advice in appropriate cases.
