This poster was a part of media campaign held by women in the 2003 elections in Jordan. It says "When Women Win, the Country Wins".

The election of an unprecedented number women (6) to the Lower House of Parliament in 2003 was a remarkable step toward strengthening women’s political participation in Jordan. The subsequent appointment of eight women to the Senate also contributed to the establishment of a “first class” of Jordanian women legislators to challenge traditional attitudes about women’s role in society.

With support from the National Endowment for Democracy, NDI has produced "First Class" — a report and a documentary video profiling Jordanian women serving in the lower and upper houses of Parliament.

This manual, specifically addressed to groups and individuals not well versed in legal matters, provides tools to human rights activists and defenders who investigate violence perpetrated against women by non-state actors. Its goal is to offer guidance with regard to the legal definitions and human rights protection mechanisms that may help them compel States to fulfill their obligation to protect. It presents concrete examples of particular forms of violence committed against women by non-state actors and models of strategies that have been used effectively, particularly in Muslim communities.
