Jordan establishes 27 anti-begging committees
The article discusses the efforts of the Ministry of Social Development in Jordan to combat the phenomenon of begging, which is considered a social, economic, security, and humanitarian issue. The ministry collaborates with the Public Security Directorate through 27 anti-begging committees that carry out field patrols in various areas, including traffic lights and public places. Enforcement operations involve operational teams, with adults being referred to the judiciary and minors being treated as victims, along with providing them with psychological and social support and studying the underlying causes of begging within their families.
