قانون حقوق الطفل الأردني لا يحمي: إهمال الأهل تعليم أطفالهم نموذجًا
Summary

Jordan's Children's Rights Act No. 17 of 2022 has sparked great debate in Jordan due to concerns that it may contradict with Islamic beliefs, prompting its revision before to passage. Despite the Act's approval, repeated provisions of earlier legislation have not offered tangible greater protection for children. The consequences for breaking the law are minimal, with small fines that are insufficient to punish the seriousness of the crimes. The law's first effective implementation revealed significant flaws, including inadequate mechanisms to deter repeat offenses. Overall, the law has failed to properly protect children's rights.
