On the International Human Rights Day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Social Affairs in Kuwait, in partnership with ESCWA, organized a workshop on public policy priorities for the rights of older persons in the country.
Held from 9 to 11 December, the workshop reviewed relevant international and regional frameworks on the rights of older persons. Participants also discussed the first draft of Kuwait’s National Strategy for Older Persons (2025–2030), examined its main components and pillars, and exchanged views and recommendations on ways to further develop it.
The workshop brought together representatives from ministries and government entities, civil society organizations, international partners, and national media, in addition to experts and advocates in the fields of ageing and human rights.
