Al-Dosary pointed out that the ministerial edict has defined the jurisdiction and duties of the committee's business by defining the controls, criteria and relevant plans for application of the principles of equal opportunity aimed to include the needs of Bahraini women in the frame of equal opportunity in all work aspects in the Ministry in coordination with the SCW, the CSB's Instruction No.: 4/2014, especially clause 3 thereof.
Clause 6 of the ministerial edict stipulates the cancellation of Edict No.: 85/2011 for the formation of equal opportunity units.
