A leading human rights organization yesterday called on the Bahraini government to open up this year's parliamentary elections to international monitoring. Bahrain Human Rights Society (BHRS) secretary general Abdulla Al Derazi said his organization was in constant contact with international adjudicators such as NDI and believed it was a natural progression for the 2010 elections to be scrutinised in this way.

In the fall, The Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED) hosted conferences in Amman, Beirut, and Cairo to examine the political dynamics in the Middle East. Participants developed recommendations for U.S. foreign policy initiatives for encouraging meaningful democratic political reform. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the United States Institute for Peace, and Georgetown's Democracy and Governance Program sponsored the conferences.
For more than two decades, women in Bahrain have struggled to raise awareness of domestic violence. The Kingdom has no laws or government policies to address violence against women and a draft law that would establish penalties has been languishing in the parliament for years. To push the issue, the Bahrain Women’s Union (BWU), an association of 12 women's organizations, launched an advocacy campaign on Dec. 11 for a domestic violence law, which has been a priority for the union since its founding in 2001.
