Bahrain Global Award for Women's Empowerment - Public Sector
The mission of the Bahia Public Defender's office is to promote legal assistance for poor people and human rights violations. The institution was created in 1985 with the purpose of providing legal assistance for those who cannot afford it, particularly for those who have been victims of human rights violations. Over the years, the Bahia Public Defender's office has expanded its services to provide all kinds of legal assistance, with a strong focus on human rights. This includes providing legal assistance for poor people, human rights violations, and marginalized groups such as women, children, and minorities.
