"Arab Women Speak Out (AWSO)" - Jordan Health Communication Partnership (Arabic/English Subtitles)

JHCP promotes women's empowerment through its innovative "Arab Women Speak Out" community and training sessions. Using role models, JHCP promotes positive behaviors and increases self-efficacy. JHCP provides follow-on support for community based organizations linked with the Ministry of Interior, Japan International Cooperation Agency, MOH- Healthy Villages Program, and the Peace Corp. 83% of participants versus 60% of non-participants report that they make decisions for the family. Findings also demonstrate that participation enhances a women's self-perception and increases the likelihood that others will perceive her as someone to whom they can turn to for advice.
