Kuwait bans women from night work

by This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it  on Tuesday, 12 June 2007

The Kuwaiti parliament has passed a law which bans women from working at night, Gulf News reports.

The law, passed unanimously, prohibits women working between 8pm and 7am, with the exception of the medical profession. It also bans women from jobs that “contravene with public morals and in all-men services places at any time.”

Kuwaiti women were granted full political rights and took place in parliamentary elections for the first time in June 2006, after a four decade struggle.
