Dr. Laith Tayel Bani Melhem : Jordanian women’s empowerment

Post news ;-

The issue of women’s empowerment is one of the most prominent features of this time, and one of the most significant issues not only at the local level but also at the regional and global levels. Countries around the world raced to enact laws and regulations and participated in local and international conferences on women’s empowerment issues until women’s political, economic, and social empowerment has become one of the most important indicators of development at the domestic level of States.

Yet, issues of women’s rights in general and empowerment, in particular, are still issues that face major challenges on the legislative level (Regulations and laws) or applied level (Empowerment indicators). Maybe the reason behind this is mainly due to cultural, religious, and social privacy (Customs and traditions). Countries differ in the levels of legislative and cultural development, and social privacy constitutes a constraint on women’s empowerment efforts. Therefore, the issue of women’s empowerment requires starting from the culture of the society and not only imitating the experiences of other countries.
