I have had the honor to speak with and listen to many of the amazing Kuwaitis that worked so hard to get this bill approved. This bill allows for the protections and support for domestic abuse survivors at unprecedented levels. #kuwait

#kuwait is known regionally and globally for their consistent support and aid to other Arab countries and their neighbors. It is no surprise that they are on the frontlines in #lebanon right now.

On August 2, 1990 Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait.

The Qurain Martyrs Museum serves as a lasting memorial to those who fought against the Iraqi invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

عيدكم مبارك!!!

Excited to assign @RonanFarrow‘s book #waronpeace for my current international problems course. I can’t wait to discuss it with the students. It is a great look into how diplomacy works, its decline, and the real consequences of US policy. Not to mention it is a great read!

[Allison Dillard Critcher @amdcritcher]

Traveling from Kuwait back to the states with @RonanFarrow in my ear. This is a must listen to/read. It was sad, vulnerable, & joyous. It is awesome to know I walk this earth with these brave women & tragic that they have to be. #catchandkill #couldnotstoplistening
