A joint <a href="http://haqqi.info/en/haqqi/research/gendering-jordanian-parliament-rese… </a>conducted was conducted by the Information and Research Center &ndash; King Hussein Foundation,and the Center of Legislative Studies and Research in the Jordanian Parliament in order to understand the knowledge,
attitudes and practices of MPs on gender and women&rsquo;s rights in the decision making process. The study shows that there is often a misunderstanding of the concept of gender,which is reflected in this concept not being taken into
account continuously during the legislative process. The study also showed that there is a long way to go in implementing women&rsquo;s rights,despite the talk about women&rsquo;s rights being given priority in the House of Representatives.
In order to achieve more gender-sensitive legislation,and taking into account the rights-based approach to women&rsquo;s rights,the study concluded that it was important to raise awareness about the concept of gender in its holistic context. The study also recommended that women&rsquo;s rights should be expanded beyond basic rights,to include all the human rights.
