This research paper concerns with the organization and function, and the future of feminist movement in Jordan. The paper relies on several publications and studies in Arabic and English languages. It also obtains data from field interviews with prominent, activists women in the movement who are also the chair persons of several feminist associations. The paper concludes that women in Jordan recently began to develop their own strength and consciousness of the need for change of their role in the society beyond their traditional roles as wives and mothers.
This clear tone of optimism reflect a joint determination from different groups in the women’s organizations, government agencies and civil societies to realize women’s participation in the political process.
The Hashemite Queens also work to encourage women’s organisations to realize gender equality.
Although, there are several obstacles which need to be overcome, mainly the patriarchal nature of the Jordanian society which hindered the work of different groups to serve and advance women’s political participation on a full scale in both public and private sector.
Thus one can speak of women presence more than women’s participation in the membership of governmental and non-governmental agencies and departments.
