WHO WE ARE
Women Gateway was established in 2002 as a joint venture project between the Bahrain Business Women’s Society and Al-Nadeem Information Technology. In 2003 it was re-launched as a bilingual portal designed to aid business women by providing them with information, business and trade opportunities with focus being on women’s issues and women empowerment in the region.
OUR VISION
Women Gateway has evolved from being a portal initially aimed at business women of Bahrain, to one that provides a more horizontal vision of attracting women from all walks of life in order to encourage women’s empowerment.
We aim to be an exclusive portal that will serve the Arab Women community by providing unique content and services, in order to ensure the complete well being of women. Our objective is to aid women in extending their activities locally and globally through the provision of valuable information and reliable services to help them expand their vision. We propose to not only hone women’s business instincts and capabilities but also promote women’s empowerment.
Women Gateway’s ultimate goal is to create an environment that liberates Arab Women from the constraints of traditional society into the vast, unrestrained world of information.
OUR SUCCESS
In 2005, only three years after its inception, the Women Gateway portal won the National Award for e-Content and the Global Summit Award for e-Content, both in the Inclusion Category.
