25 December 2016 Kuwait

The inclusion of female security personnel in the National Assembly Guard is considered as another victory for women empowerment in Kuwait. After reaching several key positions within the public and private domains, the ambition to be included in the state’s security and armed forces took years to achieve. With their determination and willingness to protect Kuwait, women finally attained their position alongside men in service of the country.

Speaking to KUNA, a number of female and male security personnel expressed their satisfaction with the current status quo, affirming that they were eager for more gains in the future. Assistant Secretary for the National Assembly Guard General Khaled Al-Waqeet commended the performance of the female unit, saying that the work they have carried out so far was tremendous despite numerous pressures.

“There are five female personnel currently on duty at the National Assembly, “ said the General, revealing that 14 female cadets were being trained to join the current force. The National Assembly is one of the most important sites in the country which required a huge amount of effort to secure, said General Al- Waqeet, adding that female security officers carried out the same duties to inspect visitors, protect officials, and fend off any harm that might be inflicted on parliament.

The parliamentary guards will cooperate with Kuwait National Guard (KNG), the Interior and Defense Ministries to further develop the security staff at the National Assembly, said Al-Waqeet. On her part, Officer Entisar Al- Sahli said that the process of becoming a guard involved six months of training.
