MP Al-Awadhi Chat with AUK Community

The American University of Kuwait's Division of Student Affairs celebrated International Women's Day by inviting one of Kuwait's first female Parliamentarians for a mid-morning chat with students, staff and faculty. The discussion took place on Thursday, March 11 at 10 am in AUK's multipurpose room in front of a full audience.

MP Al-Awadhi took questions from the crowd regarding some of the challenges she faces as a female in Parliament, the future of education in Kuwait and the current state of politics and policy making in the country. In the spirit of International Women's Day, MP Al-Awadhi advised young females to have confidence in themselves and in their abilities and to be persistent in whatever it is they try to attain in life. She encouraged them to raise society's standards of women and to formulate their own identity. 

MP Al-Awadhi ended the lively discussion by thanking the audience and AUK for inviting her and for creating a venue whereby such discussions can take place.
