In Kuwait, a group of women have won election to the Kuwaiti parliament for the first time. The US-educated economist Rola Dashti is one of four women who won seats.
Rola Dashti: “Change is coming to Kuwait. We want a culture of solutions to many issues we can cooperate in. We want a constructive debate. And if it’s God’s will, this period will be the period for building a nation”
Women in Kuwait gained the right to vote and to run for office in 2005.
