The most recent parliamentary elections in Kuwait resulted in two-thirds of incumbents losing their seats including the sole woman MP. Leaving a parliament with no female representation despite 29 women running for office. Due to limited empirical evidence available on the Kuwaiti gendered political landscape, particularly following the 2020 elections, WFD undertook a project seeking to generate insights. The key obstacles to women’s candidacy and the means by which to determine the appropriate entry points, actors, and knowledge required to more effectively support women as candidates were explored.
