The Ministry of Social
Development noted that Jordan has made great strides in strengthening gender equality,
empowering women, and reducing violence in all its forms within the Kingdom.
Under Royal directives,
Jordan has created basic planning documents to enhance gender equality, empower
women, and reduce violence, including the Jordan Vision 2025, the political
modernization system, the Economic Modernization Vision, the roadmap for
developing the public sector, and the 2030 Agenda.
Jordan has amended
legislation related to reducing all forms of violence, most importantly, adding
paragraph six to Article 6 of the Jordanian Constitution, stating that “the
state guarantees the empowerment and support of women to play an active role in
building society in a way that ensures equal opportunities on the basis of
justice and fairness, and protects women from all forms of violence and
discrimination.”
