The Kuwaiti government approved Sunday a draft law to establish a police task force of female officers with a mandate of helping policemen nationwide, according to the Kuwaiti official news agency, KUNA.  

The bill "aims at appointing woman in the police force to seek her help in works that need women in a manner coping with her nature and paves way for workforce integration in the interior ministry," a cabinet statement said Sunday.  

The council of ministers, in its weekly session, referred the bill to the emir, Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Subah, for ratification, said the agency.  

The cabinet had approved the bill in principle last May 6 – Albawaba.com
