Reflecting on the day and what it means, Mrs. Jenan Al Mahdi, ARKIS HR Specialist said “As a Bahraini woman, I have always felt inspired by all the Bahraini women's day celebrations since they started in 2008. I am so connected to this year's celebration because, as a Bahraini Triathlete and member of ARKIS, I was honoured to present The Kingdom of Bahrain in many national and regional events. In 2019, I participated in Iron Man Bahrain 70.3 with 26 Bahraini women, ranking third in my category. On a regional level, I participated in Kuwait races and Iron Man 70.3 in Dubai. I am always driven by the will to make my country proud and represent it in the right manner. A manner that reflects how Bahraini women are blessed, to be belonging to the great Kingdom that has overcome the difficulties and challenges, to empower all Bahraini women to reach the highest positions and giving equal opportunities to ensure that all her needs are mainstreamed for her to excel all areas of life.”
