Breaking Barriers: Exploring The Contributions And Challenges Of Women In Shaping Political Landscape Of Jordan

Itis time beyond equal access guarantees to acknowledge and promote women as agents of economic growth, stability, and resilience, and for men to partner with women in speeding up the march to gender equality. There is a need to lay the groundwork for positive political, economic, and social changes that can lead the way to empowerment for women across the Middle East, turning their visions into realities. Promoting education parity will be critical to closing the gender gaps between men and women, as well as advocating women's rights, so more women can lead the way to a successful Middle Eastern future.

Women will benefit from connecting with working women and men allies, who can help them to promote themselves for jobs, find job opportunities, and offer emotional support on the road. Parenthood is the critical factor that determines the equality of employment opportunities for women and men across sectors. If women cannot attain economic security and independence, or at least benefit financially from working, many will remain outside of the labor force.

To assess the legitimacy of women's economic empowerment practices, the present research investigates gendered divisions of labor, particularly the supervisory structures, within a work setting, using the Ministry of Education (MOE) as the workplace example. This analysis is grounded in the interpretation of the Alexander and Welzel (2010) theory, which states that the greater the number of females who model positions of decision-making and leadership, the stronger is the legitimacy behind the idea that women are capable of taking control over their economic and political lives. For example, recent surveys focused on the south coast of Bangladesh have shown that women place lower priority than men on information related to climate and disasters (both information about emergencies and training programs), on domestic and community-level administrative processes, on financial resources including economic means like microcredit, land tenure, and activities within and beyond villages.

Major challenges — from climate change, forced migration, and pandemics, to the slowing investment growth and rising rates of poverty in many developing countries — affect boys, girls, men, and women differently (often to women's disadvantage) because of discriminatory laws and policies, along with gendered social norms affecting their economic roles and responsibility. Major challenges — from climate change, forced migration, and pandemics to decelerating investment growth and rising poverty rates in many developing countries — affect boys, girls, men and women differentially (often to the detriment of females) due to discriminatory laws and policies, along with gender and social norms that influence their economic roles, and responsibilities. Women are weighed down by unpaid labor; a lack of expertise and opportunities for leadership, excluded from emergency response decision-making structures; poor self-confidence; poverty and access to resources; and lower levels of education and literacy [4, 64]. Such openings offer unique opportunities to transform the political, legal, and social barriers women face in politics and society.7 For example, peace negotiations or constitutional reform processes can empower women to press for institutional commitments to electoral parity and rights protections.8 At the same time, political transitions do not automatically promote greater gender equality in politics: they can also lead to renewed marginalization of women.9 Understanding why and how emerging parties integrate or exclude women at such times is crucial to preventing the return of patriarchal institutions and processes.
