Challenges to Addressing Gender-Based Violence (Submission to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations Universal Periodic Review of Jordan (Fourth Cycle, Jan – Feb 2024) – 45th Session)

UPR submission - Tafilah Women Charitable Society (TWCS)  & IRCKHF
Summary

Studies and reports carried out by the Tafilah women charitable society (TWCS) have shown that gender-based violence (GBV) is an important and ongoing issue in Jordan, as it not only affects the physical and psychological well-being of survivors but also undermines the fabric of Jordanian society and women's ability to contribute to the well-being of their families, communities, and country. Women in Jordan continue to be affected by social and legal discrimination, as well as social norms and concepts that weaken women, such as early marriage or a lack of access to institutional and legal protection services. Despite the magnitude of the problem, few survivors seek help from key service providers because many of the abused women live under the same roof as the perpetrators (husband, brother, father, etc.).
