Nibras Taleb, the CEO of Bahrain’s Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), emphasized the significance of strengthening cooperation and knowledge sharing with Kuwait to improve the work environment, combat illicit practices, and address human trafficking.

His remarks came during discussions with a Kuwaiti delegation led by Ambassador Sheikha Jawaher Ibrahim Al Duaij Al Sabah, Kuwait’s Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Human Rights.

The meeting, held at the Migrant Workers Protection Society, provided a platform for Taleb to outline Bahrain’s initiatives, projects, and measures in combating human trafficking and upholding labor rights.

He highlighted the National Referral Mechanism (NRM), an integrated electronic system that unifies governmental and non-governmental entities to streamline operations effectively.

The Kuwaiti delegation received insights into the role of the Migrant Workers Protection Society in offering preventive, advisory, legal, and shelter services for victims and potential victims of human trafficking.

Additionally, they were briefed on the Regional Centre of Excellence and Capacity Building for Combatting Trafficking in Persons, aimed at equipping certified trainers with the necessary skills to identify and assist victims of human trafficking.
