She expressed pride in the national initiatives and strategies aimed at opening up wider horizons for Bahraini women to consolidate their status and national role, paying tribute to Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, wife of HM the King and Supreme Council for Women (SCW) President.
Hala Ramzi Fayez was speaking while chairing a panel discussion within the “Women Parliamentarian Forum”, held on the sidelines of the IPU’s 147th Assembly and related meetings, currently hosted by Angola.

Addressing the panel discussion, Fayez indicated that Bahraini women, as effective members of the legislative branch, are keen to present legislative visions and initiatives aimed at consolidating the legal protection for all social groups, including orphans, who enjoy utmost care from official and private institutions.
