It was a male domain and no women were welcomed or allowed to visit it for any reason. That is all history now. The diwaniya is no longer limit- ed for males only. A new trend emerged a few years ago with mixed diwaniyas. But these were few and for highly intellectual figures to discuss specific matters of interests to them. Nevertheless, several diwaniyas now welcome and appreciate visits of women activists and female parlia- ment candidates to talk and discuss national issues or even host foreign guests, bearing in mind that we have many female diplomats who visit diwaniyas for social events. Does that mean the diwaniya is no longer represent- ing the sole avenue for men’s social life here in Kuwait? Yes, because youth - especially those between the ages of 18 to 30 - have different interests and with the spread of shisha cafes, western restaurants and malls, the excuse that they only can get together in the diwaniya is not true, except for social events and Ramadan gatherings.
