| 520 | |a This comprehensive review examines the progress achieved and the challenges encountered in legislating for women's rights in Jordan. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in improving women’s rights, largely due to reforms within the legal framework addressing labour laws, protection against domestic violence, and women’s participation in politics. Notable developments include the introduction of laws enabling women to vote, access education, and enter the workforce, alongside reforms targeting violence against women and other marginalised groups. However, societal and cultural barriers, particularly those rooted in traditional gender norms and the prioritisation of male authority, continue to impede women’s full participation in leadership and decision-making roles. Women in positions of power are often undermined or perceived as lacking authority, perpetuating gender disparities. Furthermore, inconsistencies in the interpretation and enforcement of laws by legal practitioners have limited the effectiveness of legal provisions aimed at promoting gender equity. Existing legislation concerning marriage, divorce, inheritance, and child custody often reinforces traditional power structures and undermines claims to justice. The review underscores the conditions that have enabled gender-based discrimination to persist and highlights the importance of women’s networks, civil society organisations, NGOs, and international frameworks in advocating for legal reforms. It calls for a revision of personal status laws, improved enforcement of existing legislation, and increased public education to address these systemic challenges effectively. | ||
