Well it was quite an event. Maybe I'm just not used to these things but I thought the turnout was alright. Not excellent, just alright... I wish more people had shown up, but never mind. At least the media were there and hopefully this will make enough noise..
- I was pleased to see the MPs Mohamed Al-Sager and Ali Al-Rashed addressing the crowds in support of women's right to vote.
- Khaled Al-Sultan and his supporters were nowhere to be seen.
- Ran into a few bloggers there, and I expected to see a few more who didn't show up. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
- I wanted to meet some other bloggers, but I couldn't recognize any :-(
- I went into the parliement building and into the auditorium. Some asshole MP was being very loud and rude. I had to leave early to get back to work.
- I wore blue.
Let's pray it works this time!
I was there at 9:40,
ReplyDeletei was looking for the bloggers but i didnot see any bloggers.
Then all guys and girls enter the assembly.
in the hall i saw tatabotata.

ReplyDeleteعزيزي زيدون
ReplyDeleteلقد شاركت شخصياً في جميع التحركات التي تدعم حق المرأة منذ عام 1992
وللأمانة وللتاريخ أقول أن هذا هو التجمع الأروع من حيث العدد والتنوع العمري
لأول مرة يشارك طلبة المدارس حيث كانت مشاركة الطلاب مقصورة على الجامعة
أما عن ارتدائك للأزرق فقد بدى رائع
:)
Good coverage Z
ReplyDeleteI saw them on my way to work early this morning. I honked my horn in support.
I took my sister with me, was there at 8, and saw some friendly faces and had a good time. The crowd was OK, considering the time of day. It was wonderful to see the little old ladies there supporting the cause. What fun! and when the crowd became a mob and crossed the street chanting "7aq ilmar'ah al'aan" .. that was frikkin awesome!
ReplyDeleteToday I was proud to be a Kuwaiti.
I think I saw you Zaydoun, but I'm not sure 'cause I don't know what you look like :)
tarzanq8ty... It's a Pentax Optio X which I got for my birthday. It's so cool because it swivels!
ReplyDeleteWell I can tell you Zaydoun looked dapper in his navy suit ;)
ReplyDeleteI am glad all you people turned up and the range of different kinds of people and age groups was great
Needed more organization though from Speakers-

سؤال: وين قوائم الجامعة ؟
Damn it Jewaira... why didn't you say hi?
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I was in my navy blue work suit, with blue shirt and blue checked tie (Burberry if you're interested)
Yes, Zaydoun looked good in navy & Vacunaut works ;)
ReplyDeleteGotta look sharp for the ladies!

ReplyDeleteما هذا؟؟ لماذا لم أتعرف عليكن يا زميلاتي البلوغرز؟؟
ReplyDeleteأنا شرهان عليكم
ربما تكون تلك ضريبة الشهرة
ReplyDeleteفأنت مشهور يا عزيزي
I was there from 8AM, stayed until got kicked out of the Majlis.. but it was more than alright.. at first there wasn't much of a turn out but after 9 there were quite alot of women there.. not as much as you would want.. but the majority of teenagers and twenty something's and it was really nice..A day that will live in history

ReplyDeleteاليوم شفت انه كان في طالبات احدى المدارس الثانوية, اخصائية المدرسة قالت للطالبات اليوم في رحلة حق مجلس الامة لما اوصلوا المجلس و قبل ما يدخلون قالت لهم الاخصائية انه سبب وجودنا معارضة حقوق المرأة ردوا اغلب الطالبات احنا مؤيدون حقوق المرأة ردت عليهم الاخصائية اللي تؤيد فيكم حقوق المرأة خل تقعد في الباص و اللي تؤيد راح تدخل الجلسة فقاموا بعض الطالبات و علقوا شعار حقوق المرأة قامت الاخصائية و اسحبت الشعار و قطعته و حذفته في الارض و قالت لهم انتوا قعدوا في الباص و ما راح تدخلون و انا اعلمكم في المدرسة واللي معارضين حقوق المرأة بس راح يدخلون.
السالفة هذي اوصلتلي من وحده اختها في نفس المدرسة.
Tatta
ReplyDeleteThat was you! I even wrote about you in my post describing you as a guy with long curly hair ;)
Darling you were great- I love your enthusiasm. We need more people like you.
busynow
I heard the same thing about some school girls being led by a teacher meaning to sabotage the session. But nevermind; people will know better next time
Zaydoun,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures
Thanks for being there, everyone (everyone but Q)
And Tata, I'm flattered and I WANT THAT T-SHIRT
