Yesterday, I was invited to a public talking competition, the woman was one of the important topics that they discussed. They talked about Kuwaiti women and if they are capable to work in fields as a fire fighter or a cop.
Before few days , I read in the paper that some women cops faced some problems with public specially guys, while they were doing their job in the some malls. I think there are some problems with the society to accept this new idea. it is not because women are unable to be in this position, it is only because the society still didn't accept this new thing. In my opinion, it just needs time.
In the old days, before even the discovery of oil in Kuwait. It was really hard for any woman to be an employee or to have a a job, but by time ,people became more open, and as you see now most of the women have a jobs with high education levels .
If we take US as an example, you can notice that before 20 years maybe it was a joke to say that a woman will be a candidate for the president position. But now, the things changed because the American society realized that woman can do it and she is qualified enough to get that position as much as the man..
For me, I believe that if the woman want something, she can do it no matter what the difficulties are. Not because she is a woman she can't do it, and because he is a man he can. It only depends on individuals, and nothing to do with the sex.
From all what I said before , you can understand that it is again a matter of time and I am sure that the Kuwaiti society will be pleased to deal with a policewoman one day..
