Jordanian lawmakers champion inclusion, disability rights at IPU sessions

Amman, Oct. 8 (Petra) - A parliamentary delegation continued its participation on Thursday in the 153rd General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Tanzania.

Delegates Arwa Hajaya, Omar Khaldi, Huda Naffaa, and Samer Azaida took part in main assembly sessions on good governance, community empowerment, inclusivity, and public trust.

Speaking at the Forum of Women Parliamentarians, Naffaa noted that the expanding political role of Jordanian women, attributing their achievements to national political modernization drives supported by the Hashemite leadership.

Addressing a separate forum session on disability rights, Naffaa detailed Jordan's legislative advancements protecting persons with disabilities.

She said empowering women with disabilities is "central" to justice and inclusion, urging global parliaments to translate international commitments into binding domestic laws covering education, employment, and political participation.

Meanwhile, Azaida addressed a panel on digital violence in politics, warning that online spaces are increasingly pushed toward hostile environments that discourage women and youth from public service.

He also presented a strategy combining legislative frameworks and technical solutions to combat digital abuse and maintain equal political opportunities.
