Honored upon the recommendation and
nomination of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO),
Badran's award also comes to recognize her efforts to support women through
civil society institutions and youth projects.
Badran, in a press statement
Saturday, said she won the award after being nominated by UNIDO, due to her
many efforts, whether in the private sector or civil society institutions.
Badran added that she won the award
on behalf of the Arab region, along with another woman from Bahrain, stressing
that the award will contribute to highlighting the role of Jordanian women
globally, display their capabilities and their "remarkable" and
"pioneering" role in the process of economic development.
Winning the award confirms the women
status and their capability to have an active role in economic activities, run
their own projects, and influence through small and medium companies, she
pointed out.
Badran noted the announcement of the
award came on the sidelines of the annual conference of the International Women
Entrepreneurship Challenge, which was held in New York a few days ago, in the
presence of the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala.
Badran, who previously served as a
member of the 16th Lower House, founded Al Hurra for Management and Business
