Kuwait Working Hard To Empower Women To Practise All Their Rights
Kuwait on Friday reaffirmed it is working hard to empower women to practise all their rights, in line with the Kuwaiti Constitution that guarantees their political, social and economic rights.
The effort also observes the relevant international agreements, in particular the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), a Kuwaiti official told a UN meeting on women. Coordinator of the Fatwa and Legislation Department at the Government’s Women Affairs Committee Huda Al-Shaiji made the remarks during the 62nd session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 52) in New York Friday. She added that Kuwait shared the UN Secretary General’s view that countries have to enhance efforts and make the necessary arrangements to empower women on the local, regional and international levels.
;Kuwait has already taken measures to promote women’s status and maintain their rights on the national and international levels, she noted. The country has been keen that its legislatives embrace all items that preserve women’s rights, as the constitution embodies the basic provisions on human rights related to empowerment of women in the fields of economy, education, healthcare and social security, Al-Shaiji said.
According to Al-Shaiji, Kuwait has been eager to involve women in drawing up development plans, and decision-making, as well as activating their role in civil society organizations. The Kuwaiti woman is a major partner in achieving economic and social development, and is holding leading posts, she is a minister, a MP, a diplomat and a ministry undersecretary, she said.
