THE CONTEST

Jordan presents numerous challenges in terms of social and economic participation of the female component in community life. Within the Syrian refugee community in particular, women are even more vulnerable in terms of economic and labour inclusion. At the same time, another component of vulnerability in Jordanian society is represented by the community of persons with disabilities, most often excluded from the economic and social life of the country due to a strong stigma that accompanies their condition, often within the family unit itself. In this context, the situation of refugees with disabilities, mostly from Syria after the start of the conflict, is even more difficult.
