Social Affairs Minister on Purple Day
The Kuwaiti Minister of Social Affairs, Dr. Amthal Al-Huwailah, confirmed that the "Purple Day" initiative reflects the success of partnerships between government agencies and the private sector in empowering people with disabilities and promoting their integration into society. She pointed out that the three-day initiative included the provision of services and benefits aimed at enhancing the independence of persons with disabilities and facilitating their access to services, in line with Kuwait’s commitment to the rights of people with disabilities and their convention. She explained that the initiative is part of efforts to support community integration rights and aims to develop facilities that meet the needs of this group, with participation from the General Authority for People with Disabilities and Alshaya Company. Additionally, it aligns with the Gulf-wide "Purple Saturday" initiative, which began in Saudi Arabia in 2021 and is held annually to reinforce services that empower people with disabilities.
