Speaking at the club’s meeting held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Amman on Wednesday, Karadsheh argued for a political process to improve the situation facing Jordanian women. “Women’s rights are not a personal issue or even a women’s issue; they are a political issue. It is a power struggle that will not be solved without a political process that will require legislation and policymaking.”

During the discussion that followed her presentation, Karadsheh highlighted that in the 1950s and 1960s, women’s rights were much more prominent because of the active role of political parties but that women’s rights have regressed since then. She explained that in order to produce change now, the entire society, and especially men, must be involved in the process of empowering Jordanian women and helping them attain their full rights.
During the meeting, the Amman International Rotary announced that they received the provisional status of recognition by Rotary’s governor Ashot Karapetyan. On February 1, Karapetyan wished the “new provisional club all the best in our service to change lives.”
The governor appointed Muhsen Mufleh, the previous president of Rotary Club of Amman West, as the new club advisor and the district governor’s special representative to the Rotary provisional club of Amman International. Karapetyan also appointed Ahmad Ghazwan Nadhom, who was the past president of the Rotary Club of Amman Jerash.
Deputy District Governor Farid Musharbash was also directed to serve as a representative to all Jordan clubs to ensure further communication between Jordan Rotary clubs and new club members.
Karapetyan called on Musharbash to ensure that the new club abides by the Rotary rules and ethics as it is “a non-political and non-religious club whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.”
