Meeting of Jordanian and Syrian Women Parliamentarians in Amman

With the generous hosting of the Swedish Dialogue Institute for the Middle East and North Africa, Syrian and Jordanian women parliamentarians were invited to a dinner held alongside the training sessions organized within the framework of the “Support and Empowerment of Syrian Parliamentarians” Program.

The program is implemented by the RASED Community Monitoring Network of the Stabilization Support Unit (SSU), in cooperation with the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA).

The Jordanian capital, Amman, witnessed a series of meetings bringing together Jordanian and Syrian women parliamentarians in an atmosphere focused on dialogue, cooperation, and exchange of parliamentary experiences.

Exchange of Experiences

During the meetings, participants introduced themselves and exchanged experiences aimed at strengthening communication and benefiting from diverse parliamentary practices, in a way that supports women’s presence in legislative work and expands opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange.

Official Meetings and Visits

These meetings come as part of a broader tour taking place in Jordan, which includes several training sessions and official visits, most notably a meeting with the Jordanian Minister of Social Development, Ms. Wafa Bani Mustafa, in addition to meetings with several officials and the Independent Election Commission in Jordan.

The events were also attended by Ms. Hanan Balkhi, representing the Higher Committee for the Elections of the Syrian People’s Assembly.
