The Arab Women Organization (AWO) is recognized as a leading Jordanian NGO in the struggle to ensure women’s rights. Indeed, Jordanian women NGOs have proved to be a powerful tool for the political, economic, social and cultural empowerment of women. There are several examples of achievements showing that AWO has provided a significant contribution to the integrated movement of Jordanian, Arab and International women NGOs. In Jordan, despite the efforts undertaken in the last two decades, there is still an urgent need to promote the struggle for attaining women’s rights.
