The Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW) on Monday launched a campaign to answer around 100 frequently asked questions by women about their legal rights. The one-year campaign, entitled “Waraqati” (My Paper) seeks to increase women’s awareness about their legal rights, as well as those of their children, in several fields. It is based on a list of 238 questions prepared by the JNCW on legal issues that was distributed to more than 600 people to gauge which questions the respondents considered the most important. The Women’s Studies Centre (WSC) at the University of Jordan then analysed the results and distributed its findings in a paper that was distributed to the press on Monday.
