Al Qaed commended the role of Bahraini working women, citing the designation of Bahraini Women's Day on December 1 each and every year as a nationwide initiative to commemorate the role of career women in all fields who have proven their capacity to perform their job duties efficiently and meritoriously. He said the Informatics and E-Government Authority attaches great importance to Bahraini women and has formed equal opportunity units EOUs last year as part of such attention to activate the role of women and to include their requirements in the services provided, and to achieve equal opportunities to women employees and beneficiaries from the e-Government programme.
