Bahrain Appoints Its First Woman to Ever Become Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Sheikha Rana bint Isa bin Duaij Al Khalifa has made history by becoming the first undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bahrain.
She was appointed to the position in a decree issued by His Majesty King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa on Sunday. This is a major step forward for women in Bahrain, as empowering them politically, socially and economically, is crucial in advancing their rights.
Sheikha Rana holds a PhD in International Law from the University of Exeter, a Master of Arts in Peace and Conflict Resolution from the American University in Washington, and a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, also from the American University in Washington. That basically makes her a triple threat, and thanks the the King’s latest announcement — her future looks promising.
