Abstract:

This study examines the reality of Arab women in decision-making positions, with Jordan as a case study. The researcher employed a historical and analytical approach to trace the evolution of women’s participation across the three branches of government—legislative, executive, and judicial—within the broader context of Jordan’s political and legal reforms from the establishment of the state up to 2024. The findings reveal a significant increase in women’s representation in parliament and local councils, largely due to the quota system and supportive legislation, as well as their growing presence in executive and judicial leadership roles. However, the study also highlights persistent challenges, including limited active participation, cultural and social constraints, and negative interventions that restrict the effectiveness of women’s roles. The study recommends reinforcing gender-balanced participation and strengthening institutional and legal empowerment to ensure women’s sustainable role as key actors in development and decision-making processes.
