Ead B’Ead, which means “hand in hand” in English, aims to change the decision-making process to allow both men and women to have a voice in identifying community priorities. Ead B’Ead is a project that brings women and women’s rights to the public sphere in the governorate of Karak. The project engages local societal actors (local media, women’s associations and university students) in learning ab
out and advancing community awareness of women’s rights and roles to increase meaningful women’s political participation at the municipal and governorate levels. Ead B’Ead addresses the current gap between institutional initiatives that aim to provide women with opportunities for political participation and the realities on the ground that limit the meaningful significance of women’s participation. Ead B’Ead is an evidence-based program and encourages future policies to address local needs.
