The Kingdom on Thursday celebrates International Women's Day to highlight achievements made, call for further action and boost women's active participation in all fields.
The United Nations titled this year's celebration "Time Is Now: Rural and Urban Activists Transforming Women's Lives" after an unprecedented international movement that called for women's rights, justice, and equality.
On this occasion, President of the Women's Union Amna Zu'bi said that "even though a number of women's rights are still denied, Jordanian women have made great achievements in education, shown effective participation in public work, and held societal and party leadership roles".
