Bahrain: 3-Week NGO Workshop – Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI)

Women Empowerment (Arabic / English)

A Film By: Amina Hassan Abdulla, Khulood Mohammed Al-Shehab

About The Film

This 30-second PSA created by Smart Coaching & Research Center, pictures a stone grain grinder traditionally used for preparing Henna and flour in Bahrain wherein the top and bottom stones work together productively to create the end result. The PSA uses the stones as a metaphor for how men and women must be viewed equally and complimentary to create fair and democratic political processes in Bahrain. The images and sounds of the two stones working together is supported by a narration:

Man: Man and woman are two pillars of society. Believe in your mothers, sisters, wives.
Woman: Empower me.
Man: It is time to vote for women.

The onscreen slogan reads, Women Political Empowerment with the graphic of a red checkbox behind it. The PSA is directed at encouraging women to vote in the 2010 Parliamentary elections.

About The Workshop
