The National institution for Human Rights (NIHR) participated in the Careers Day Exhibition organized by the Royal University for Women by teleconference to introduce university students to the job and training opportunities provided by the bodies participating in the exhibition.

Mrs. Fatima Al-Tareef, Head of the NIHR Training and Education Unit, presented an overview of the Human Rights Research Fellowship Program, which targets academics, university students, human rights defenders and all those interested in conducting research in the field of human rights. She also reviewed the conditions of applying for the Program and the mechanism for participation in it, as well as its basic objectives, which include developing skills in critical thinking and analysis in the area of human rights, supporting and developing innovation and creativity skills to find the best ways to promote and protect human rights, and strengthening partnership with international organizations and universities working in the field of human rights.

This participation falls within the framework of the NIHR’s keenness to spread and strengthen a culture of human rights among all segments of society and to fully encourage the educational and academic process in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
