If the Circle Model ruled, women working from home would be encouraged and financially rewarded. Women’s leadership in governments and at all levels of society is needed to transform hierarchy to circle. Namaste!!! Ann
Bahrain Government Rejects Proposal to Allow Women to Work from Home
5 May 2008 – By Suad Hamada
The government of Bahrain has rejected a parliamentary proposal to allow women to work from home on grounds of gender bias.
According to the government, the proposal is biased as it doesn’t include men.
The only woman MP, Latifa Al Quad, had moved the proposal seeking to allow women with family obligations to work from home.
She defended her decision by highlighting the importance of giving women the chance to raise their children and be financially independent.
The Social Development Ministry has been promoting women, especially the needy, to work from home by setting up small businesses. The women are promoting their home-made products at exhibitions inside and outside Bahrain, but they are not covered under any pension scheme.
The government defended its decision by stating that implementing the proposal could affect the kingdom’s intellectual properties achievements as well as disturb peace in residential areas.
