This Christmas vacation as I decided to go back home to visit my family. I also decided to go and check out some PR agencies and Universities that do PR courses in Kuwait.
What I realised was that not only in the West there has been a recent increase in women working in PR agencies or women who will be entering the PR industries, but that there has been a growing interest in Kuwait as well as in generally all of Middle-East.
As I spoke to people from these PR agencies I came to conclude that the main difference between the West and the Middle-East especially looking at Kuwait, is that there are more women in the managerial position here in the Middle-East then in the West.
The reason for this being is that during the past five years the Kuwaiti government has given the women her full democratic rights which also meant that it gave the women the same rights as her male colleagues and that gave women the chance to advance in their careers and even reach as high as managerial positions.
And this does not only apply to the PR field, it also applies for other professions in Kuwait.
