“Jordan’s feminist identity is fractured as a result of a lack of feminist framework and awakening, creating a hazy path for the cry for equality to thrive. Furthermore, it appears as though there is no single framework that describes a comprehensive, Arab, Jordanian Feminism, based on scholarly and historical assessment of Arab Feminism. While limited state Feminism is broadly dominant which is influenced by signed treaties and conventions, no grass-roots Arab Feminism exists to fulfill the requirements of Arab society.”
