Al Ghad – 27 April 2009

The Women’s Complaints Bureau at the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW) has received 171 cases and complaints until last Thursday, according to a statement by JNCW. The Bureau was launched in December last year to receive complaints pertaining to violence and discrimination against women in Jordan, especially at home and work places. Complaints have been received via interviews with individuals or phone calls on the project’s toll-free number. JNCW Secretary General Aasma Khader had previously stated that the Bureau will release descriptive and analytical reports on the cases it receives in order to tackle the factors leading to them and adopt policies and recommendations pertaining to them.
