Bahrain
Beverly is General Secretary of the Society’s elected Executive Committee. She is very involved, not only in the general administration of the society, but also in all other aspects of its work.

Beverly also takes responsibility for writing reports and recommendations based on these and other cases and, together with the Chairperson and occasionally with other committee members, she presents these to government officials. She regularly advocates for migrant workers at the Ministry of Labour, the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), the Immigration Directorate, embassies and the police. Frequently, Beverly attends court cases and meets Public Prosecutors and officers from the CID Trafficking Unit. Beverly arranges Press Conferences and writes Press Releases, and gives presentations about the society’s work in schools, university and clubs. She also initiated the launch of the society’s new website in 2012.
