The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On February 16th, the constitutional court of Kuwait overturned Article 198 of the Kuwaiti Penal Code which criminalizes "imitating the appearance of a member of the opposite sex." In a publication in 2009, the United Nations Human Rights Committee  insisted that Article 198 is a violation of the Yogyakarta Principles guaranteed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. In December 2021, the Constitutional Court of Kuwait accepted a legal challenge against Article 198. The major ruling was warmly welcomed by human rights activists and advocacy groups for the LGBTQ community. Amnesty International called the verdict a breakthrough for transgender rights. Shaikha Salmeen, a lawyer involved in the case of a Kuwaiti transgender woman who has been arrested 6 times for her gender presentation, welcomed the ruling and also warned by saying "the fight back is going to be vicious for sure."
