Jordan tackles begging issue with new measures
A report issued by the Ministry of Social Development reveals that its ongoing efforts to combat begging in Jordan focus on implementing field strategies involving 27 committees working around the clock to apprehend beggars in public places, in coordination with public security. Cases are handled according to age categories, with adults being referred to the judiciary, while children are placed in care centers to receive psychological and social support and to assess their family circumstances. Despite these surveillance efforts, the ministry faces a shortage of staff. It emphasizes that the ultimate goal is to address the social root causes of the phenomenon to ensure the protection of minors and prevent their exploitation. The number of reports continues to decline compared to previous periods, and plans are being adjusted based on changes in the patterns of begging behavior.
