A local dialogue on combating violence against women and girls (VAWG) was held on Monday, 21th April 2025, in Zarqa, Jordan. It took place within the framework of the third awareness campaign “Her Life Without Violence, Her Future Without Fear” which is a part of the three years national campaign “No Silence, No Tolerance” carried out by EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI), Justice Centre for Legal Aid (JCLA), Children Villages SOS, Institute for Family Health (IFH), and the National Council of Family Affairs (NCFA), Information and Research Center - King Hussein Foundation (IRC-KHF), Tafila Women's Society (TWCS), Arab Women's Organization (AWO), and Family Guidance Awareness Center (FGAC) in the framework of the project "Improving Access to Comprehensive Gender-based Violence Services in Jordan” funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), with the collaboration of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The local dialogue, organised by EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI), aimed to create an open and inclusive space for community members and leaders, service providers, and civil society to come together and engage in meaningful discussions on preventing violence and promoting survivor-centered services across Jordan. It served as a platform for fostering proactive community efforts and raise awareness about the availability of essential services for survivors of gender-based violence as one of the means to prevent violence against women and girls.
