KUWAIT: The Kuwaiti Women’s Hopes Association, in collaboration with the Center for Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Studies at Kuwait University, organized a scientific forum on Wednesday titled “Women between Rights and Belonging: Legal, Social, Sharia and Educational Dimensions.” The forum, attended by academics and specialists, examined various issues concerning Kuwaiti women and explored solutions to enhance their societal and legal standing.

Chairperson of the association, Wedad Al-Mishaal, told KUNA that the forum aims to propose solutions and recommendations for women’s issues by engaging experts across legal, social, Sharia and educational fields. She highlighted legislative achievements benefiting Kuwaiti women, while emphasizing that many challenges require collective efforts to develop comprehensive and sustainable solutions.

Al-Mishaal stressed that the association focuses on all Kuwaiti women — married, widowed, divorced, or single — ensuring their civil, social, and legal needs are addressed to maintain family and societal stability. She underscored the importance of partnerships between state institutions, civil society, and academic circles to promote social justice and enhance women’s role in national development. Established in 2023 as a civil development association, the organization has sought to highlight women’s issues and strengthen their presence in the public sphere.

Acting Director of the Center for Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Studies, Dr Yaqoub Al-Kandari, said the forum reflects the center’s ongoing commitment to cooperating with civil society to serve national priorities. He noted that the one-day event consisted of two main sessions: the first addressed constitutional and legal matters concerning women, while the second focused on social, psychological and educational dimensions, featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field.

Al-Kandari explained that attention to women’s issues is a central focus of the center’s work, which aims to produce research and studies that inform strategic visions for women’s empowerment and increased participation in public life. He added that the forum would conclude with a set of scientific and practical recommendations to be submitted to relevant authorities to support policies enhancing Kuwaiti women’s societal and professional roles.

The Kuwaiti Women’s Hopes Association, founded in 2023, works to empower women and strengthen their role in sustainable development by promoting the efficient use of skills and qualifications, raising awareness of civil and constitutional rights, following up on family and social issues, advocating for legislative improvements, and organizing cultural and social initiatives that consolidate women’s position in society. — KUNA
