In a historic first for Kuwait, the Attorney General appointed four women to lead prosecution departments on Sunday.

Attorney General Saad Al-Safran reshuffled several positions, promoting four women to senior roles in the general and specialized prosecution offices, including the complaints office.

This is the first time women have held such positions.

The newly appointed directors are Munira Al-Wuqayan (media prosecution), Noura Al-Othman (Farwaniya prosecution), Ghanima Al-Sarrawi (Hawally prosecution), and Nouf Al-Saeed (juvenile prosecution).

Kuwaiti women gained voting rights in 2005, and in the same year, the country appointed its first female minister, Dr. Maasouma Al-Mubarak.

In 2020, women also became judges for the first time, despite initial public debate.

Eight women were sworn in as judges after an agreement between the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Judicial Council, supported by a legal ruling from the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs.

This followed the acceptance of 20 women into the Public Prosecution six years earlier.
