SCW Youth Committee hosts discussions at Youth City 2030
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.
The sessions, moderated by volunteers from the Youth Committee, formed part of a series of initiatives aimed at raising awareness among young people of the objectives and priorities of the National Plan for the Advancement of Bahraini Women (2025 – 2026), and encouraging their role in supporting its implementation through community initiatives and partnerships. Youth are regarded as key partners in achieving the plans, programmes, and goals of the SCW.
The first session, led by law graduate Zahraa Al Oraibi, focused on family stability and decision-making, while the second, moderated by fellow law graduate Tofoof Hassan, explored economic participation and quality of life. The sessions adopted an interactive format that encouraged both male and female participants to exchange ideas and perspectives.
The discussions drew strong engagement from young participants, who emphasised the importance of continuing their role in advancing the progress of Bahraini women, addressed challenges and opportunities in the highlighted areas, and presented practical proposals based on their own experiences, reflecting their commitment to contributing effectively to women’s leadership in national development.
The Youth Committee of the SCW was established in 2003 on 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.
