BAHRAINI women were driven by a sense of national duty and a desire to serve humanity as they volunteered on the frontline of the country’s Covid-19 pandemic response, despite familial opposition, social alienation and personal loss, a recently published study has revealed.
The findings were made public in the Motivations of Young Women Volunteers during Covid-19: A Qualitative Inquiry in Bahrain, done by Royal University for Women researchers Dr Debashish Sengupta and Shaikha Dwa bint Khalid Al Khalifa .
