Jordan Addresses Human Trafficking with Strict Laws
The Commissioner at the National Center for Human Rights, Nahla Al-Momani, confirmed that human trafficking cases in Jordan remain very limited, with an advanced international classification reflecting the effectiveness of efforts in prevention, investigation, and victim protection. She explained that national legislation is continuously evolving to align with international standards, including the existence of shelters for victims and a high-level committee within the Ministry of Justice to develop and implement policies to prevent human exploitation. Jordanian law precisely defines the elements of trafficking crimes and sanctions such exploitation of children, women, and persons with disabilities, especially in cases involving cross-border dealings, where penalties can exceed fifteen years. The inclusion of organized begging within trafficking crimes represents a legislative development that strengthens efforts to combat human trafficking. Additionally, specialized security units are tasked with monitoring and analyzing cases. She emphasized that the limited number of cases indicates successful preventive policies and ongoing efforts to enhance oversight, maintain social stability, and protect human rights.
