(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUWAIT, June 12 (KUNA) -- A number of participants in the 43rd edition of women's empowerment and capacity building conference, titled "Tamkeen", underlined Monday the need to provide more support to empower women in leading positions.

In a speech, former minister of information Sami Al-Nisf called for supporting women in order to help them achieve more successes and enable them to get leadership positions to keep pace with the international community.
Iqbal Al-Ahmad, a media person, called for changing the stereotypical view of some people towards women that says that 'women's role is at home'.
