}}Fawzia Abdulla Yusuf Zainal is a Bahraini media and social activist and politician who has been Speaker of the Council of Representatives since 12 December 2018. Zainal is the first woman to lead Bahrain's parliament, and the second woman to lead a Gulf-Arab parliament after UAE's Amal Al Qubaisi.[1]

Education

Zainal graduated with a degree in education and Arabic from the University of Bahrain in 1983[2] and has a Postgraduate Diploma in Counseling from the University of Jordan.[3] She received a high diploma from the Bahrain Institution of Political Development in 2008 and a diploma from Bahrain University in 2014.[2]

Career

Zainal has worked as a journalist[4] and is a media and social activist.[5] She worked as a director in the Bahrain Radio and Television Corporation for twenty five years.[2][3] She is a partner and the General Manager of Infinity Multimedia Associates and a member of the Bahrain Businesswomen's Society.[6] In 2009, she was a consultant for strategic planning and development at the Bahrain Ministry of Culture and Information.[7]

Zainal first ran for parliament in 2006, despite threats against female candidates. Her campaign tent was set on fire and she was targeted by derogatory gossip.[8] In 2014, she ran for the East Riffa fifth district, but fell short by 288 votes in a run-off election against her male opponent.[1] Her campaign platform promised to focus on improving the living conditions of women, as well as addressing unemployment and fighting corruption.[13]

Zainal was elected in December 2018 alongside five other women, winning her seat outright agains the incumbent, Khalifa al-Ghanim, who had narrowly defeated her in 2014.[1][9][10] She had criticised the previous parliament and promised to prioritise the needs of the less fortunate in her constituency.[10] Bahrain does not have a quota for female representatives but while gender was seen as less of an issue in 2018,[11] billboards of Zanial were torn up and defaced and other candidates reported receiving online threats.[12][13][14] Zainal said, "My victory has broken the rule of male domination of this district and indicates that the people of the area have reached the conviction and maturity that make them not look at candidate’s gender, but at their capabilities and ability to take responsibility."[9]

On 12 December 2018, Zainal was elected Speaker of the parliament with 25 of the 40 votes and then appointed by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.[1] He said, "The election of the first woman speaker of the Council of Representatives represents a quantum leap forward and source of pride for the Kingdom of Bahrain which has spared no effort to empower women."[4]

Personal life

Zainal is a Sunni Muslim.
