During the ceremony, Qaisi said that Jordan has achieved a “big” legislative and political leap in women empowerment, adding that such efforts have to continue to push the Kingdom forward and on top each effort that aims at recognising the status of women, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

MP Reem Abu Dalbouh, head of the Chamber’s Women and Family Affairs Committee, underlined that Jordanian women have proven their abilities to excel in all political, educational, social, economic and vocational fields.
