  1. “Our history demonstrates that Kuwaiti women faced the occupation with courage, as martyrs of Kuwait, until rights were regained and my country was liberated by Council resolutions. Kuwaiti women also played a pivotal role in building and developing our society, contributing to all fields and sectors, and were an essential element in Kuwait’s efforts to confront the coronavirus disease pandemic.”

  2. “Today I consider myself a vivid example of those successive gains that Kuwaiti women have obtained, as I participate in this Council session not only as the Minister for Social Affairs and Community Development, but also in my capacity as Minister of State for Women and Childhood Affairs, a new ministerial post in the State of Kuwait, which reflects the keenness of the political leadership in my country to empower Kuwaiti women, promote their rights and support their vitally important role in the advancement and development of the country, pursuant to the constitutional provisions of the State of Kuwait and the implementation of the New Kuwait Vision 2035. In conclusion, I extend my respect and gratitude to the women in my country, the women of Kuwait, for their great sacrifices over time.”

  3. “In that regard, I must point out that my country was keen on the participation of Yemeni women in the peace negotiations held in the State of Kuwait in 2016 under the auspices of the United Nations. I take this opportunity to reiterate the State of Kuwait’s support for involving women in all political negotiation processes held in our region and around the world. The State of Kuwait attaches great importance to the issue of advancing Kuwaiti women, empowering them and promoting and protecting their rights. In that regard, we reaffirm that Kuwaiti women have been increasing their gains in recent years, especially since they obtained political rights and ran for office in 2005.”

  4. “History demonstrates that women are always the first victims of wars and conflicts and in security, social, economic, political and even climatic crises. As a result, women have proven, time and again, that they are capable of being resilient in the face of difficulties. They have played important and essential roles in preventing and resolving conflicts, peacekeeping, peacebuilding, political processes, humanitarian responses, reconciliation and mediation efforts, and rebuilding and recovery after conflicts and wars. In that context, we emphasize that their participation in political processes and peacebuilding has a positive impact on the outcome of those processes, as reports and statistics indicate that women’s participation increases the likelihood that peace agreements will be sustainable.”

  5. “That should compel us to give them more attention, time, effort and work, in order to reach that to which we all aspire — namely, achieving goal 5 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. Resolution 1325 (2000), which established the women and peace and security agenda more than two decades ago, and the nine subsequent resolutions adopted by the Council to endorse that agenda, have been a cornerstone of international multilateral action and an important tool for enhancing the effectiveness of national, regional and international efforts in conflict prevention and resolution as well as societal progress in the social, economic, development and political fields.”

  6. “It is also an opportunity to remind all of us that greater efforts are still needed nationally, regionally and internationally in order to empower women, strengthen and protect their rights, ensure that their voices are heard and their participation guaranteed in decision-making processes, and reduce the gender gap. Our world is faced today with challenges and crises, including armed conflicts, climate change, natural disasters, economic and financial crises, food insecurity and many more serious challenges. We must recall that those challenges are interrelated, intertwined and complex, and have immediate effects on the lives of hundreds of millions of people, especially women and girls.”
