The Jordanian National Commission for Women's (JNCW) mission is to “support mainstreaming of a gender-equality perspective in all policy areas and to narrow the gap between formal acknowledgement of women's rights as detailed by legislation and actual societal attitudes towards women through improving the status of women and enhancing their role in national development.” [13] They work to equalize women’s status – socially, politically and economically – in Jordan by proposing legislation and studying the existing policies regarding women’s rights.[2] The JNCW also works closely with various public institutions and NGO’s in hopes of branching out and developing their organization.
