women right to vote?
May 4, 2005
Remember that thing? Yeah I’ll have it listed as oldies, do you remember when people went out on a rally? Less than 400 people! , So it was like hi, there are less than 400 Kuwaiti’s who agree women should have the right to vote and then it stopped there.
Why aren’t they going on weekly or hell monthly rallies? (I’m not going to call for daily, like hell that would happen) don’t women want that right? Am I missing something here?
My god I can’t even find stickers on cars asking for it! And most Kuwaitis do support a lot of stuff, like No fear & fcuk political parties
Again the Question ask it self, do they want it? I heard some say they want, I do know some who work for it from time to time, but I’m sure 5-7 people alone isn’t what I think should be done
Why for example isn’t there a rally in front of any of the parliament members that could change their vote, like Almutair? Going to his house and calling him to vote for, with a rally of 200 women and men of the area that would show that they want it, and add pressure on him
Or make rallies in the same day in front of the parliament members houses, if there was 10 rallies in front of some members it could really show that they want and are fighting for it, not just not sit back and relax.
I read about the debate between Jassim Alsaqer and guest of god father of the throw , that was bad, truly bad, couldn’t they, and chose a bit better ones?
Also it seem women right to vote for the Municipality council didn’t pass, it had some stuff I didn’t expects, like some people who didn’t vote and I though they would be for, or the tactic of not voting, which was stranger
(The fact that it’s happen to be a good trick to kill the vote point to one member who is known to be knowledgeable in the constitution, which is something I still can’t understand, since that member clearly stated he is going to vote for)
Ask your selves, am I for women vote? And what did I do to show that?
I said it before that people who are for women’s political rights aren’t doing enough to earn their rights. The way I see it, they are solely relying on the government to give them their rights, and believe me the government don’t give a $hit for women’s rights, yet on the opposite they (the government) are against it!!!
Are Kuwaiti women doing enough… I think no, however forza, I know that (aljam3iya althaqafiya alnisa’iya) are currently working on collecting signatures of the male voters who are registered in each & every voting area to submit a letter to the MPs representing those areas to show them that there are voters who are for women’s political rights and if you (Mr. MP) vote for women’s rights, then you have supporters who will vote for ya in 2007 if you run again for parliament.

Thank you for posting on this topic Forza.
You’re right. The people movement just stopped in its tracks.
Even trying to write about it my thoughts are frozen.
We need to mobilize now.
What I have realized is we have alot of work to do re-educating women and dissolving
all those preconceived notions about their rights. Sometimes, women are their own
worst enemies.

yes bo ghazi , the government doesn’t give a shit about anything , unless people demand why
would it pressure for it ?
what you say about jam3eya is new , which make me think they are doing it under the cover of the night
which is what they shouldn’t do
yes jewaira , people are their own worst enemies in every case
and if women do not raise and fight for their right to vote , no one would
