Women Program
Despite the considerable improvements in the status of women in Jordan, more still needs to be done to increase women's empowerment and engagement in both local society and the labor market. Jordan has the highest female literacy rate in the Middle East of 97.4%. The majority of Jordanian women are both literate and highly educated, and differences in career expectations based on gender tend to stem from cultural practices, not the fact that women are not as meritorious as men.
Keys for Sustainable Development believes in the importance of opening economic opportunities for women and enabling them to participate and add value to their communities. This is sought through investing in their potentials and capabilities. We strongly believe that every woman can achieve a lot and can excel and become distinguished in her community if she is given the right opportunity to participate and leave an impact.
