This Shadow Report is an independent civil society assessment of Jordan's progress over the past five years in implementing the commitments of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPFA). It provides an evidence-based perspective rooted in grassroots voices and feminist advocacy.

Civil society organizations (CSOs) are crucial in translating policies into practice, advocating for reforms, and addressing gender inequalities through community-based approaches. Their contributions ensure that national achievements align with the lived realities of women across various Jordanian communities.

This report is a collaborative effort led by the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) and the Jordanian National NGOs Forum (JONAF), reflecting diverse perspectives. Through their grassroots networks, JONAF provides a platform for community organizations and women's rights groups to engage in political advocacy and accountability efforts.

While national and regional reports on "Beijing+30" highlight legislative progress and institutional reforms, they may not fully capture implementation realities or the daily struggles of women and marginalized groups. This shadow report serves as a civil society accountability mechanism, evaluating Jordan's commitments under the Beijing Declaration through an inclusive, rights-based lens. It focuses on the voices of women from diverse backgrounds, aiming to bridge the gap between political commitments and on-the-ground realities by assessing progress, identifying key obstacles, and providing evidence-based recommendations.
