78% of survey respondents from a women's empowerment and protection program in Jordan reported a lack of clear information regarding service disruptions and current service availability.

Date: 1/26

Region: Middle East & North Africa

Country: Jordan

Topic: Gender Equality & Inclusion

Policy Lens: Moral Leadership

Entry Type: Human Impact

Additional Context: The Women’s Protection and Empowerment program implemented by the IRC in Jordan was halted during the stop-work orders in February 2025, and later only partially resumed. This disruption reduced access to case-management, psychosocial, legal, and livelihood services, while cutting off thousands of women and girls from safe spaces where they could heal from trauma, pursue justice, and build resilience.

Nine months after the suspension, IRC conducted a mixed methods impact study across Amman, Irbid, and Mafraq, drawing from 246 surveys, four focus group discussions, and key informant interviews with partner organizations.
