The Supreme Council for Women (SCW) yesterday launched a nation-wide campaign aimed as part of national efforts to combat the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and restore life to normalcy. Themed “Together for Bahrain’s Safety”, the campaign engages 500 volunteers from the e-Volunteer platform, who will work to support Bahraini women and families, focusing on their economic and health conditions.

The volunteers will operate in teams to provide Bahraini households with urgent aid, services and legal consultancy, in addition to economic support. The campaign aims also at enabling women to benefit from the state’s manifold financial packages to continue their businesses, receive educational support and help families to pursue remote learning.

The Supreme Council for Women (SCW) extended thanks to the National Taskforce for Combating COVID-19 for supplying the volunteers through a database which includes more than 30,000.

“Together for Bahrain’s Safety” was launched following directives from Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of His Majesty the King and SCW President to support Bahraini families and cater to their needs, in direct cooperation and coordination with the e-Volunteer platform.

The campaign is supported through the media and education in shedding light on the efforts exerted by the national team in fighting the disease, relying on messages and the promotion of films and videos in cooperation with social media channels.
