Following the success achieved by women in the police force, new path has been paved for young Kuwaiti women to join the army, Assistant Chief of Staff of the Kuwati Armed Forces said, according to local media reports.

“The Kuwaiti army is studying allowing the enlistment of women into all branches, which is likely to take place this year,” Major General Dr. Al Kandari said.

Al-Kandari’s statements came on the sidelines of the launch of the “be among them” campaign, which aims to attract Kuwaitis to volunteer for military service and defend the homeland.

Defense minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Sabah said that he supports the inclusion of women in the Kuwaiti army, after they were included in the ministries of the interior and the national assembly guard.

This is not the first time that a Kuwaiti official has talked about including women in the army.
There was a legal dispute between Kuwaiti scholars and lawyers over the issue of Kuwaiti women joining the state’s army in 2018. Some of whom considered the case ‘rejected because it contradicted the nature of women’, and those who accepted it in return wanted to have some of the terms and conditions.
