Strengthen Legal Protections and Support Services
A multi-stakeholder approach is essential to address
TFGBV effectively. This includes strengthening legal
protections, raising public awareness, and
empowering survivors through education and access
to support services. By addressing the intersection
of psychological trauma, social stigma, and
institutional inadequacies, Jordan can create a safer,
more inclusive digital environment. Legal and
institutional reforms should ensure that women and
marginalized groups can fully participate in public
life, free from fear and discrimination. Collaborative
action among policymakers, civil society, and the
private sector is necessary to transform the digital
space into one of opportunity and empowerment for
all.
2. Community-Based
Recommendations
Develop Awareness Campaigns
Foster Survivor-Led Initiatives
Survivors suggested public education campaigns to
reduce stigma and inform individuals about TFGBV
and its consequences. These campaigns could
leverage community leaders and local organizations
to build trust and accessibility. Similar initiatives in
other regions have shown success in encouraging
survivors to seek help.
Survivors proposed empowering fellow survivors to
lead initiatives that provide peer-to-peer support
and advocacy. Evidence from survivor-led programs
highlights their efficacy in reducing stigma and
fostering resilience.
3. Support Services
Recommendations
Provide Free Legal Aid
Enhance Mental Health Support
Participants stressed the need for accessible legal aid
tailored to TFGBV cases. They recommended
partnerships between civil society organizations and
legal experts to establish survivor-centric legal
clinics.
Survivors highlighted the importance of specialized
psychological services, such as trauma-informed
counseling which can be accessed through
community centers. Research emphasizes the
necessity of integrating mental health services into
GBV response systems to address long-term impacts.
