Abstract

This research aims to shed light on the paths of Jordanian women’s political participation and the role of policies and legislation in promoting and empowering women to reach all legislative, leadership and administrative positions that the constitution and laws regulating political life in Jordan allow for. And with the multiplicity of parties calling for women’s empowerment and equality and everything related to women in terms of legislation and amendments, and between social norms and the societal view of women and their role in society. And identifying the obstacles and challenges that stand in the way of women's participation, and then a future look at promoting and empowering Jordanian women in all sectors of the state.
The study shows that policies, legislation, social, cultural and media norms are still rooted and play their role in promoting and supporting the political participation of Jordanian women. Therefore, the study’s findings conclude that part of the responsibility also rests with the women themselves, as she still does not elect her gender. Also, women should benefit from the positions granted to them by the government through the modified election system "the quota system", and from the positions that women assumed through appointment, in order to help change the collective view of women by contributing to them through their presence in various locations.
