Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS AMMAN 000017 SIPDIS PASS TO G/IWI FOR SARAH BANNISTER E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PREL, OVIP, KWMN, KPAO, KSEP SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR NAME/TITLE OF MINISTER OF WOMEN'S AFFAIRS REF: SECSTATE 256058 1. Per reftel, the GOJ has no ministerial position for women's affairs. Women's issues in large part fall under the Ministry of Social Development, which is headed by Ruwaida Ma'ita. In addition to Ma'ita, several other prominent Jordanian women are engaged in women's issues. Farah Daghistani, the daughter of Princess Basma, currently is the director of the Jordan Hashemite Fund for Human Development (JOHUD), the largest Jordanian NGO. As the director of JOHUD, Daghistani has worked on many gender specific issues and is also well-versed in microenterprise. Substantively, Rania Atalla, the Chief of Staff for the office of Queen Rania, is the mover and shaker behind many of Queen Rania's initiatives to improve the status of women in Jordan. At the Prime Ministry, Nancy Bekir, whose official title is Coordinator for Human Rights, also follows women's issues. GNEHM
