In a world in which the challenges accelerate, and the phenomenon of trafficking in people as one of the most dangerous forms of cross -border crime, the Kingdom of Bahrain continues to write an exceptional chapter in its human rights and human record, to confirm for the eighth year in a row its worth by belonging to the first category in the US State Department report, that preserving this advanced site is not a passing matter, nor is it the fruit of passing efforts, but rather an embodiment of a vision A deep patriotism realizes that the most difficult to achieve success is to preserve it, and to make it a fixed rule on which new paths of progress and prosperity are built.
This repeated achievement, which is achieved only by a few countries that do not exceed 15% of between 188 countries that have been evaluated, reveals that Bahrain has chosen to be at the forefront of the world, not among the expected, since 2018 and it is the only Arab country that maintains this classification without interruption, to demonstrate that the size of the state is not measured by its area or the number of its residents, but rather with the hardness of its institutions and its insight in managing complex files.
Bahrain did not fight its battle against trafficking in people with speeches and slogans, but rather in a solid style based on leading legislation, foremost of which is the 2008 people trafficking law, and with systems, it created solutions before the problems became worse; From the Center for Expatriate Protection to the National Referral System, and from the Department of Preventive Monitoring to the Wage Protection System, which covered hundreds of thousands of expatriate workers, and contributed to reducing labor disputes by more than forty percent in recent years, the measures were not satisfied with stopping damage at its borders, but rather sought to create a human work environment that preserves dignity and preserves rights.
Because Bahrain realizes that sustainability is achieved only by building minds and consciences, it has made awareness an authentic partner in its strategy, so it expanded its educational programs in cooperation with international organizations and embassies, and established a regional center for training in the field of combating trafficking in people, to turn from a country committed to a regional school and a knowledge radiation center.
What has been achieved today is the harvest of political, intellectual and moral awareness that places man in the heart of development, and gives Bahrain an advanced position in the indicators of transparency and the rule of law, and enhances the confidence of investors and international partners, and perhaps the deepest value of this achievement lies in that it is a message to the world that Bahrain is not satisfied with temporary success, but rather formates a long -term path, a path based on wisdom and determination, and makes the preservation of achievement introduction To create more achievements, it is Bahrain, which has learned that glory is not only made by reaching the summit, but by the ability to stay in it, and redefine it for generation after generation.
