Summary
This study explores Jordanian and Syrian women’s understandings and experiences of sexual harassment in public spaces in Jordanian cities. The report begins with a discussion of the various ways women in Jordan define taharosh al-jinsi,directly translated as sexual harassment. These definitions are then juxtaposed against women’s stories of their
experiences of harassment in order to paint a portrait of the way harassment is both thought about and lived through in Jordan.
62 interviews were conducted with Syrian and Jordanian women over 18 at community-based organization,universities,and cafes in Amman,Zarqa,Irbid,Karak,and Tafileh.
