Abstract:
The interviewee was born in 1967 in Karak, a governorate in the south of Jordan. In school she was involved with the Orthodox and Latin Church Youth Movement. She went to the University of Baghdad, where she studied economics, and then to the University of Mutah (Jordan) where she studied psychology. She worked at the Social Security Corporation (a government agency), then got married and moved to Saudi Arabia with her husband, where she had four children. She then moved back to Jordan and started volunteering in many civil society organizations, including the Jordan Health Aid Society and Saint Luke’s Healthcare Society. She is a member of the Jordan Society for Science and Culture, the Economic Policy Development Forum, the Economic and Social Council and the Women's Empowerment Committee. She is currently head of the Royal Family Empowerment Society. As a result of the Arab uprisings, she became involved with the independent union movement and has been trying to establish a union for the unemployed. ( en )
