Welcome to this week’s episode where I talk to Shorouq Shatnawi.
Shorouq is a Gender and Development Expert based in Jordan.
Shorouq takes us on a journey across Jordan, shedding light on the unique vulnerabilities faced by women in war, conflict, and the reintegration process.
In this episode, we delve into the systemic challenges that women face in the region. Shorouq discusses the underrepresentation of women in leadership roles and how gender-based violence disproportionately affects women compared to men, mirroring a troubling global trend. We explore the realities of human trafficking, where women are trafficked through the region for domestic work. With limited labor laws or regulations to protect domestic workers, many find themselves in situations of exploitation.
Join us as Shorouq shares her expertise and experiences, bringing a much-needed focus on the intersection of gender, conflict, and modern slavery in the middle east.
