So women being elected in kuwait is not new. So, why is this uplifting?

The first one ever elected was elected in 2016 and she was literally the ONLY woman up until now when 2 women were elected. It is news and uplifting because the number of women elected has tripled and is seeing an upward trend, not great but progress.

I just want to see something truly uplifting in here. That's all I'm saying.

That’s not even remotely true.. Four women joined the parliament as the first in 2009.

Massouma Al Mubarak, Salwa al Jassar, Aseel al Awadhi and Rola Dashti.
