His Highness the Amir took pride in the growing participation of women in the judiciary, saying it is a historic stride in the way to woman empowerment which reflects Kuwait's commitment to ensuring gender equality.

He lauded the roles of the judicial and the executive authorities as "two wings of the leadership" helping realize the aspirations of the people and protecting their interests in the framework of the constitution.
