    The program was opened in March 2016 with the support and funding by our partners the Women’s Center for Legal Aid and Counseling (WCLAC). This department aims to relief and guide abused women in Jericho and the Jordan Valley by giving them a platform of social and legal aid. The department is composed of two trained social workers partnered with two specialized lawyers forming 2 teams of social and legal aid.  This project will develop to include mobile stations of aid toward the more remote areas and villages in the Jordan Valley so help would reach victims more easily.


    The creation of the program will comprise providing specialized trainings for the staff in capacity building, facilitating, guidance, deep analysis of society culture, and legal training. In order to keep our service optimum in providing legal and social help to the women in the area, the staff undergoes specialized supervision. Our work also extends to holding awareness meetings for men and women in legal and social rights over the region, and providing brochures containing legal information for easier access of the information to the community.


    Our services will be provided in the headquarters of the JWCS in addition to the permanent locations chosen in the villages of the Jordan valley for easier access to the women. Since the JWCS promotes collaboration with the other women’s societies in the region, we hold our awareness lectures in different locations belonging to peer organizations, to further distribute our message and benefit a larger audience. In our vision, empowering women starts with knowledge, knowledge of their rights and their prerogatives. Thus we build a platform where the whole local society has the basic insight and comprehension and is standing on equal footing for them later to step forward in claiming equality, fairness and improving their rights.


    Some of the topics that the program may work on and provide its services for the women of the region are; alimony, divorce, custody, dowry, financial rights and compensation for divorce cases.
