UN Women - United Nations Entity

Purpose

The project helps promote social cohesion in Jordan through conflict prevention and resolution, thereby reducing social tensions and radicalization and promoting stability. As both agents of change and victims of conflict, women play a critical role in addressing its root causes. Canada supported the 2018-22 Jordan National Action Plan (JONAP) for Women, Peace and Security, which increased women’s representation in the security sectors and access to services for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). This second phase for JONAP (2022-2025) addresses remaining barriers to women’s participation across the security, military, diplomatic and justice sectors and empowers grassroots women’s organizations to effectively respond to crises and GBV.
