Judiciary Positions In Kuwait No Longer Dominated By Men

18 July 2020 Kuwait

The Kuwait’s Public Prosecutor appointed 8 Kuwaiti women in the position of ‘judge’ as a historical precedent in the State to appoint female judges in this position which remained solely dominated by men before it becomes available for women today.

Kuwait took preparatory steps in 2012 when the Supreme Judicial Council issued a resolution to accept the Kuwaiti women presented to hold the Prosecutor’s position, then the issuance of then Kuwaiti Minister of Justice, Yacoub Al-Sanea in 2014 to appoint 62 prosecutors; including 22 female prosecutors who are expected to become judges in the current year.

On this historic occasion, the Kuwait Society for Human Rights expresses its great pleasure at the feminist movement in Kuwait which aims at engaging women in all the organs of state without any discrimination between women and men.
