Drug crackdown initiative by Dr. Al-Huwailah, in collaboration with the KLA set to commence
Kuwait Announces Joint Anti-Drug Awareness Campaign and IAFL Conference
In a significant move to combat drug abuse and promote family values, Dr. Amthal Al-Huwailah, Minister of Social Affairs, Family and Childhood Affairs, announced a joint anti-drug awareness campaign with the Kuwait Lawyers Association (KLA) and the hosting of the International Federation of Family Lawyers (IAFL) Conference.
The joint anti-drug awareness campaign, planned for an upcoming date, aims to educate society about the dangers of drug abuse, building on the KLA's role in spreading legal awareness and addressing public issues. This initiative is part of the Ministry's strategy to empower civil society organizations and promote community awareness.
Dr. Al-Huwailah praised the Kuwait Lawyers Association for their role in spreading legal culture and addressing public issues during a meeting held on Wednesday. The meeting's discussions were reported by Al-Rai daily.
In addition to the anti-drug campaign, Kuwait will also host the IAFL Conference in March 2026. This global legal event, focusing on family law, is expected to attract international legal professionals to Kuwait. The conference aligns with Kuwait's ongoing efforts to support and protect the family unit, which is considered the cornerstone of society in the country.
The IAFL Conference may provide opportunities for international collaboration and knowledge-sharing in family law. This is a testament to international recognition of Kuwait's efforts to support and protect the family unit.
Kuwait's selection to host the IAFL Conference is a significant honor for the country and marks the first time a Gulf country has been chosen to host the event.
Meanwhile, Kuwait continues its aggressive anti-drug enforcement and legal reforms. The Ministry is advancing a new drug law targeting harsher penalties and enhanced support for addicts. This is part of the government's commitment to combating drugs, as evidenced by major seizures of narcotics such as Lyrica and Captagon pills, and coordinated multi-agency operations.
The joint anti-drug awareness campaign and the IAFL Conference are initiatives aimed at building strong partnerships to address national challenges and offer legal support to citizens.
The joint anti-drug awareness campaign, while educating society on the dangers of drug abuse, simultaneously incorporates discussions on health-and-wellness to ensure a holistic understanding of drug impacts on one's wellbeing.
With the IAFL Conference focusing on family law, there may be potential for collaborations with international professionals that could lead to advancements in science, such as examining novel approaches to addressing family disputes and promoting health-and-wellness within the family unit.
