The constitution of the State of Kuwait is the basic legislation that sets out the principles and rules organizing the social, economic and political life, to be observed by individuals and community. Such principles and rules should necessarily reflect on the work strategies and systems in the various official institutions. Individuals or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) may not violate such principles or rules.

Scrutinizing the constitution of the State of Kuwait, it is noted that all its articles affect, directly or indirectly, the affairs of women, family and children. The constitution provided for the rights of Kuwaiti citizen without discrimination based on sex (Articles 29, 30, 35, 37 and 40). The constitution guarantees the women's right of political participation under the public principles of the state system (Articles 6, 7, 29 and 80). Women enjoy equal opportunities in education, selection of work type, candidacy and voting in all non-governmental organizations, freedom of practicing business, vocational and social activities without discrimination, all within the set up legislation. Based on this, the establishment of the Women Affairs Committee confirms the gains attained by the Kuwaiti women, as well as the constitutional and legislative honoring they enjoy in the various aspects of organizing the living of women, family and children.
