Women’s Affairs Minister On Employee Legal Authority at Family Violence Centers
The Kuwaiti Minister of Social Affairs, Dr. Amthal Al-Huwaila, issued a regulation establishing rules and procedures for the exercise of judicial authority by employees of centers dedicated to protecting victims of domestic violence. The aim is to empower qualified national staff to safeguard vulnerable groups, monitor cases of violence, and respond swiftly within legal frameworks. Applicants must be Kuwaiti, of good reputation, and possess qualifications in counseling or law, having completed a training course and taken the legal oath. The regulation grants these employees the authority to ensure victim safety, such as monitoring cases, documenting observations, and preserving evidence, all while maintaining strict confidentiality of data. It emphasizes that such powers must not be exploited. Additionally, the regulation calls for an annual report to count cases and evaluate the protection system. This decision represents a significant step forward in strengthening social efforts and legislative frameworks in Kuwait, ensuring the protection of families and their rights.
