This report addresses all of the articles of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Women’s NGOs in Jordan seized the opportunity of the CEDAW 51 session with the state of Jordan to review the progress made thus far in fulfilling Jordan’s obligations under the Convention,and to monitor and identify issues that the Jordanian government had failed to address sufficiently. Through the process of writing the shadow report,NGOs have identified subsequent challenges facing both women and NGOs when they work with women to realize their human rights under the Convention. NGOs have used this as a tool to develop the means to prevent violation of women’s rights,and criminalize offenders,including the State or individuals within the jurisdiction of Jordan. The articles address: the defintion of discrimination,states' obligations to eliminate discrimination,negative effects of social/cultural practices that are based on the inferiority/superiority of gender,female trafficking and prostitution,public and political life,international participation,nationality,education,employment,healthcare and family planning,economic and social benefits,rural women,marriage and family life,equality under the law,and refugee women.
