Kuwait Grants Citizenship Rights To Children With Disabilities Born To Kuwaiti Women
In a significant step toward equal rights and social justice, Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has issued a ministerial decision granting lifetime treatment as Kuwaiti citizens to children with disabilities born to Kuwaiti mothers, according to local media reports. The decision was issued by Sheikh Fahad Yousef Al Sabah, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, as part of a series of ministerial decisions, which are grounded in Article 3 of Law No. 8 of 2010 that enshrines the rights of persons with disabilities and aims to ensure their protection, integration, and full participation in society. In a related development, Major General Ali Al Adwani, acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior, issued two additional directives allowing several minor children of Kuwaiti women to be treated as citizens until they reach the age of adulthood. The measures reflect the government's continued efforts to address the legal and humanitarian concerns faced by families headed by Kuwaiti women, particularly in cases where the father is not a citizen. Authorities emphasised that these steps align with Kuwait's national legal framework and its commitments under international human rights conventions. The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its commitment to promoting equality and safeguarding the rights of vulnerable groups, calling the decisions part of a broader policy to uphold principles of social inclusion and justice.
