Women in Aqaba Governorate present distinguished models in community work and local production, through initiatives and projects that reflect the presence of women and their ability to participate, and turn ideas and skills into works and projects that serve the community and support the local economy. Women's experiences in Aqaba vary between productive projects, community initiatives, and programs concerned with protection and empowerment, alongside activities that open the field for women to participate and dialogue, reflecting an active presence of women in the paths of development, community work, and the economy in the governorate.
In an interview with (Al-Rai), Nasim Al-Fakhri, the rapporteur of the Women's Committee in the Council of Notables, expressed her pride in the experiences presented by Aqaba women, and what they reflect in terms of the ability to initiate, work, and produce, confirming that these projects represent models of the Jordanian woman capable of turning challenges into opportunities, and investing the available potentials in building projects and initiatives with an impact. She said that what she noticed during her visit to women's experiences in the fields of empowerment, community work, and local production confirms the importance of supporting these initiatives and listening to the needs of those who run them, and preparing the environment that helps them develop and sustain their projects, praising the energies, ideas, and experiences that Aqaba women possess, which deserve support and expansion.
