  "description": "Multi-Sector - GBV Programming\n(Why:) This project addresses a critical and pervasive issue in Jordan, where 40% (of reported sexual harassment and exploitation incidents occur on public transportation.\nMarginalized women, particularly those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds who rely on public transit, are disproportionately affected due to their limited access to private\ntransportation and the prevailing lack of awareness and effective strategies to combat Violence Against Women and Girls (VAW/G). The pervasive culture of harassment,\ncompounded by societal norms that foster survivor-blaming, silence, and male entitlement, significantly undermines women's autonomy, freedom, and economic participation, thus\nexacerbating Jordan's already low gender equality rankings. Moreover, the absence of a coordinated response among key stakeholders—including the Ministry of Transportation\n(MoT), Land Transportation Regulatory Commission (LTRC), Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), and Public Security Directorate (PSD) in Amman and other governorates in Jordan\n—has resulted in insufficient measures to ensure the safety of women in public transit. The need for comprehensive legal and regulatory reform, anti-harassment training, widespread\ncommunity awareness, and the creation of inclusive and gender-sensitive environments is both urgent and essential to counter this growing threat. The project feeds into the\nimplementation of the economic modernization vision and the engendered strategy for women’s empowerment. (Who:) The primary beneficiaries of this initiative are Jordanian,\nSyrian, Palestinian and refugee women who endure sexual harassment and intimidation in the densely populated governorate of Amman, particularly those commuting to and from\ngovernorates, industrial areas and key employment hubs. These women, often engaged in precarious work, are especially vulnerable due to their socioeconomic status, which\nnecessitates lengthy, overcrowded commutes where they face heightened risks of harassment. Secondary beneficiaries include essential stakeholders such as GAM, LTRC, PSD,\nprivate transportation companies, and bus drivers in Amman, as well as male and adolescent commuters of various nationalities who also utilize public transportation. By adopting a\nholistic approach, this project aims to create a safer and more equitable environment for all. (How:) This project will implement a comprehensive strategy to combat harassment in\npublic transportation through targeted partnerships and interventions. Collaborating with ten women-led Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in Amman, the project will enhance\ntheir capacity to empower women with knowledge and resources to report harassment and abuse in public transportation systems effectively. Preventative measures will be instituted\nin collaboration with commuters, transportation operators, and relevant authorities. Through strategic partnerships with GAM and LTRC, JoWomenomics (JW) plans to introduce and\nenforce anti-harassment policies, by-laws, and regulatory standards, mandating transportation operators to undergo anti-harassment training. The renewal of permits for privatelyowned mini-busses, which is annually, will be contingent upon drivers completing this training, and licensed buses will be required to display prominent anti-harassment messaging,\nvoicing explicit support for environments of safety, inclusion, and positive masculinity. Complementing these institutional and regulatory efforts, a community engagement campaign\nwill drive cultural change by promoting empathy, responsibility, and respect. Additionally, a mobile and web application will be developed to enable real-time reporting of harassment,\nfacilitate open dialogue on the issue, and help commuters navigate transportation systems with greater safety. JW will mange the app and through its FICRI, analysis will be\nconducted. (Where:) The project will be implemented at the bus terminals in the Amman governorate, the economic heart of Jordan, which serves as a nexus for employment\nopportunities and transportation networks connecting the broader region. Amman’s public and private bus services transport tens of thousands of workers daily from neighboring\ngovernorates to various employment hubs. However, the overcrowded and often claustrophobic conditions of these vehicles create an environment ripe for harassment, exacerbated\nby societal taboos that discourage reporting and accountability. (What:) The project seeks to achieve the following high-impact outcomes: 1. Empower women and girls who rely on\npublic transportation by providing comprehensive support mechanisms, including training, capacity-building programs, access to vital information and services, and tools to report\nharassment and identify safe routes. 2. Forge robust institutional partnerships with key stakeholders, ensuring the enforcement of anti-harassment policies, practices, and regulations\nwithin GAM, LTRC, PSD, and private transportation companies. 3. Enhance the expertise and capabilities of frontline staff on anti-harassment protocols, leading to a significant\nreduction in sexual harassment incidents within public transportation systems. 4. Foster a societal shift in attitudes through widespread public awareness campaigns, media\nengagement, and open dialogue, promoting a culture of respect, safety, and positive masculinity in public spaces.
