Woman chairs tribal meeting sparking debate
Former deputy Mo'ayyada Shreim presided over a tribal gathering in Jordan, sparking a debate about the role of women in tribal customs. Some viewed her involvement as a reflection of empowering women in reform and conflict resolution, while others argued that leadership of such gatherings is traditionally reserved for sheikhs and elders according to customary norms. Shreim clarified that her intervention was to assist a family involved in a dispute and in need of medical support, emphasizing that she did not violate customs but sought to help resolve the conflict. Sheikh Abdul Karim Salama Al-Huwayan affirmed that tribal gatherings have their own rules and traditions, and that leadership typically rests with sheikhs and elders to maintain the gathering’s dignity and prestige. This renewed the discussion on the legitimacy of women’s participation in tribal roles and reform efforts.
