In addition, MP Safaa Al-Hashim that the committee will invite Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah to a meeting to deliberate on the naturalization of foreign women married to Kuwaitis.

She rejected the idea of allowing a foreign woman married to a Kuwaiti to retain her Kuwaiti nationality after the death of her husband. She added she will not allow Kuwaiti women to suffer; especially in terms of obtaining a house, loan or job.

She said the employment advertisements stating that the vacant posts are for men only are unacceptable, warning she will grill any minister behind such advertisements. She added the committee discussed several issues related to the family, stressing the committee is keen on giving women equal opportunities with men in obtaining a job, loan and social allowances.
