What an incredible year it’s been for the Woman This Month team! Looking back at all that has culminated throughout 2024 is a feeling that can’t quite be put into words. 2024 is not only the year that Woman This Month has made a spectacular comeback, but the year that we have had the privilege of launching the Woman of the Year Awards.
In the months that have passed, the WTM team has had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing hundreds of incredible women across several sectors – each an inspiration in her own right. Women, often unknowingly, have a profound impact on all those around them. It starts with our mothers who shower us with unconditional love, constant guidance and encouragement to help us be the very best version of ourselves.
Women take on several roles through our lives, be it a sister, wife, teacher, boss, community leader or a willing listener. In all these roles, there are some things that remain constant – they are able leaders and approach each role with determination and alacrity. I can say with confidence that the Woman of the Year Awards is a crucial initiative to recognise all that women have achieved, what they continue to do and their vision for the future.
In this edition, you will discover the 19 recipients of the Woman of the Year Awards 2024 whose stories we will have the pleasure of telling throughout 2025.
Speaking of incredible women, there are several inspirational interviews in this exciting December edition. We spoke to the visionary Tamkeen CE, HE Maha Mofeez, about its initiatives to ensure the private sector is the backbone of Bahrain’s economy. You may also read about the trailblazing, award-winning journalist and broadcaster, Baria Alamuddin, who was the chief guest at this year’s awards.
You’ll also read about an inspiring consultant therapist, Dr. Siddiqa Hussain Al Meer, who has devoted her career to improving the emotional and psychological well-being of young people and their families in Bahrain. Sharing her incredible entrepreneurial legacy is Moon Top Shop/Flormar Managing Director, Majeda Akhtarzadeh – a renowned businesswoman in Bahrain.
Creativity presents itself in all forms with Lumineoux Interiors – Design Director and Founder, Manal Bukamal, Pom Pom Boutique’s owner, Fatema Habib, ESMOD CEO, Tamara Hostal and Bahar Jewellers Founder, Harshad S. Jani.
There are plenty of exciting beauty features, lifestyle announcements, fashion trends and opinions to be discovered to. Be sure to follow our official Instagram account @womanthismonth and visit womanthismonth.com for more exciting content.
Finally, I’d like to recognise the efforts of the entire Red House Marketing team for their applaudable efforts throughout this year. It’s been a wonderful journey, and I’m positive that it can only ever get better. Here’s to always recognising the irreplaceable role that women have on our lives, and always sharing their story.
See you in 2025!
