such offence with a prison sentence not exceeding six months or a fine of no less than five hundred Bahraini Dinars and not exceeding one thousand Bahraini Dinars. 4.3 This was followed by the issuance of Decree-Law No. (16) of 2021 amending some provisions of the Labor Law, including the addition of the provision: “it is prohibited to discriminate in wages between male and female workers in work of equal value,” which has had a significant impact on eliminating every form of stereotyped discrimination and ensuring the protection of women's rights. 4.4 The same Decree-Law repeals Article (30), which stipulates that the competent minister shall determine the conditions, jobs, and occasions in which women may not be employed at night, and Article (31), which requires the competent minister to issue a decision determining the works in which the employment of women is prohibited. With this amendment, women have equal job opportunity with men and can work in any field without any restrictions on their right to choose the suitable occupation and without any limitations preventing women from working at night. 4.5 By reviewing the provisions of the Labor Law in the Private Sector, it was noted that a working woman is also entitled to two hours per day to take care of her child until it reaches six months of age, and a total of one hour per day until it reaches one year of age, while a working woman in the public sector is entitled to two hours per day to take care of her child until it reaches two years of age. 4.6 The NIHR commends the issuance of Decision No. (80) of 2018 regarding the conditions and controls for granting two hours of rest to an employee or worker with a disability or who looks after a person with a disability, which comes to implement the provision of Article No. (5) of Law No. (74) of 20067on the welfare, rehabilitation and employment of persons with disabilities, as it will positively affect a large group of women employees and workers with disabilities or who take care of a person with a disability. It is noteworthy that since 2016, the Personnel By-law of the NIHR8 have granted two hours of rest to workers with disabilities or who take care of a person with a disability. 7 Decision of the Minister of Labor and Social Development No. (80) of 2018 regarding conditions and controls for granting two hours of rest to an employee or worker with a disability or who looks after a person with a disability, http://www.legalaffairs.gov.bh/Media/LegalPDF/RLSD8018.pdf, The website of the Legislation and Legal Opinion Commission: http://www.legalaffairs.gov.bh 8 Paragraph (b) of Article No. (122 bis) of the Personnel By-law of the National Institution for Human Rights, issued pursuant to the Council of Commissioners Resolution No. (14) of 2014 and its amendments, states that: “An employee with a disability or who is caring for a disabled first degree relative, confirmed by a certificate issued by the competent medical committee stating their need for special care, is entitled to (2) two paid hours of rest per day, and their timings shall be determined in coordination with the relevant manager and as required by the interest of work. 11
