INCLUSIONEQUALITYSOCIAL EMPOWERMENTSANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE IRRESPECTIVE OF GENDERLEGAL AWARENESSADVOCACY FOR POSITIVE CHANGEAbolish Article 153 is a non-profit organization created to raise awareness on gender-based violence in Kuwait and to eradicate honor killings as a social practice. Abolish Article 153 aims to eradicate all laws that justify disciplinary violence and provide help to the Kuwaiti victims of abuse in the absence of shelters.The organization aims to abolish article 153 from Kuwait's penal code, which effectively gives men regulatory, judicial and executive power over their female kin in blatant disregard of the constitution, international agreements on human and women's rights and even the Islamic Sharia.This law states that any man who surprises his mother, sister, daughter or wife in an unsavory sexual (zinna) act with a man and kills her or him or both will be treated as committing a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 3 years jail time and/or a fine of 3000 rupees (KD 14).Ultimately, the goal is to create a safe environment where mothers, daughters, sisters and wives are protected from all forms of violence, to raise awareness of these violent practices and the legislation that sanctions them, and ensure the creation of safe houses for women under threat of violence, which are lacking in Kuwait.
