Kuwait - 29 December 2020: Burgan Bank concluded its participation in ‘Orange the World’ campaign wherein three of its branches situated in Bayan, Al-Salam and Adailiya were lit in orange from 25 November until 10 December 2020. Led by UN Women, the universal initiative aimed at highlighting the women survivors of violence and psychological abuse, giving them a voice and strengthening their role in society.
