How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Through my position at my center, I was able to gain the respect and trust of many women in my community. Many times when a woman I know faces a problem in their home, they consult me for help and advice. Women see that I am strong and want me to help them be strong as well. Sometimes women who are beaten by their husbands and brothers have come to me for advice, and I tell them that they should stand up for themselves and speak to the police, even if it is difficult. being beaten her husband directing you to speak with the police.
I have the ability to influence the community I live in. I am already creating a network of women who stand for feminist leadership, women empowerment, and gender equality, and after attending the conference I could even better bring change to my society. academic programming for students with disabilities. From my position as a director of a Special Education center I have the opportunity to work with a wide range of people from various classes in Jordan. I have more complete knowledge of the problems, concerns, and abilities of people within my local community than someone who lives and deals only in the capital Amman would have. I am also a forward thinking woman in my society. I think that people who are otherwise uneducated about the ability of Arab women to create change within the society would benefit from seeing how motivated and independent that I am. I think that I have the ability to bring change to my community and to Jordan, and think I could inspire people to see that their own societies have the potential for change and growth as well.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I know that I have the strength of character that make me an activist and feminist leader, but I want to expand my knowledge further so that I can help think of solutions to problems in my country. It is one thing to know that a problem exists, but another to be able to work towards solving it. I am very aware that there needs to be more equality between men and women in Jordan. Women need to be better represented in the government. Women must have access to top jobs usually held my men. Women must be more independent so that they can take care of themselves. Honor killings need to stop. These are things that I want to work towards in Jordan, but I need a place to start, and I’m hoping that this program will be that place. I want to learn tools and strategies that will contribute to the development of women’s rights in Asia, and with those tools I think I can bring about a lot of change
