In an empowering new move, Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior has just formed an all-female crime scene investigation team, marking a significant step in gender equality and women’s empowerment in law enforcement.

This special team, led by the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science, is designed to handle cases—especially those involving women—while maintaining respect for Islamic traditions and values.

Preserving traditions and empowering women

This initiative not only highlights the critical role of women in criminal investigations but also ensures that investigations involving women are conducted with cultural sensitivity. It’s about balancing tradition with progress, showing that empowerment and respect for values can go hand-in-hand!
