In recent years, Jordan has demonstrated significant humanitarian leadership in the region, hosting over 1.3 million refugees from Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, and Somalia, a substantial part of whom are women. Often showcasing leadership within their families and communities, women play a critical role in weaving a resilient social fabric within Jordan, both in refugees and host communities. Nonetheless, their active participation at different levels of societal development still needs to be fully prioritized by policymakers and stakeholders, alongside the incredible potential it has in transforming challenges into opportunities and shaping a more inclusive, peaceful, and prosperous Arab world. Today, thirteen years after the Syrian crisis that led to displacement and biggest flux of refugees in Jordan, it is crucial to look at the situation from a strengthen, more inclusive point of view. Greater emphasis should be placed on how women refugees’ involvement in social and economic opportunities and the creation of space for their voices to be heard is enriching not only their own lives, but also the broader Jordanian community, holding immense potential for bolstering the country’s socio-economic reality.
