The Minister of Social Development highlighted Jordan’s progress in enacting laws and policies that promote women’s rights, reviewing national initiatives. She emphasized that the partnership with the United Nations aims to translate these achievements into tangible results in the lives of women and girls, with a focus on increasing economic and leadership participation—particularly through the “Institutional Seal” initiative supporting women in both the public and private sectors—and expanding data and statistics related to women’s contributions to the economy. Additionally, Dr. Bouchared announced that Jordan has been selected as one of three countries in the new phase of the UN program “Counting Every Woman and Girl,” aimed at supporting the economic modernization vision and providing a more accurate measurement of women’s participation. Summary: Jordan has made significant progress in its policies and legislation to empower women, and there is a shared recognition of the importance of strengthening cooperation between the government and the United Nations to achieve practical results. These include enhancing women’s participation across various fields, especially economic and political, through targeted initiatives and data analysis.
