Jordan

The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation supports regional peacebuilding in the Middle East. In 2004 we opened a field office in Amman and we have cooperated with Jordanian women’s organisations since 2005.

Our partner organisations work with men’s violence against women, and seek to strengthen women’s status and increase their participation in politics and society at large. One important issue for the Jordanian women’s movement is for women to be accorded the same citizenship rights as men.
