efforts eventually resulted in their participation;
however the process caused delays, pushing the FGD
to late January. Despite the delays, the inclusion of
these key stakeholders was achieved, ensuring their
valuable input was captured.
The limited availability of service providers
specializing in TFGBV
As the TFGBV sector is still emerging in Jordan, it
was challenging to include representation of service
providers across Jordan. Therefore, the research
team engaged with existing coalitions, such as
TAMAM Coalition² Information and Research Center
– King Hussein Foundation (IRCKHF) to incorporate
a diverse range of actors from different governorates
across the country. This strategy aimed to ensure a
more inclusive representation and foster a
comprehensive understanding of the issue, while
highlighting the services available to survivors of
TFGBV.
7. Interview
Challenges
The interview process presented both
anticipated and unexpected challenges.
While initial plans aimed to create a safe
and comfortable environment, some
participants remained hesitant to share
details due to fears of repercussions or
deep-seated trauma. Gaining trust required
multiple interactions, and in some cases,
participants were more open in informal
settings rather than structured interviews.
Additionally, logistical challenges, such as
arranging safe and private locations for
interviews, influenced the depth of
conversations. Despite these difficulties,
the interviews provided rich qualitative
data, revealing the nuanced ways in which
survivors navigate both institutional and
societal barriers.
