The project involves the creation of a Women Friendly Label that will recognize and promote businesses that uphold women’s rights and prevent violence against women and girls. This process will be community-based and take a gender-transformative approach, through the creation of a Women Core Group composed of Jordanian women from diverse backgrounds, who will be supported by experts to create, develop and systemize the Women-Friendly Label, in addition to producing a woman-friendly label that comprises a set of requirements and assures a safe environment for women. Furthermore, AAAR and its partner will work closely with companies to co-develop and test the Women Friendly Label.

In parallel, in purpose to attract the companies and to strengthen their accountability to be eligible for the Women Friendly Label, AAAR will build progressive companies’ capacities in accountability. First, AAAR will conduct Strategic Humanitarian Assessment and Participatory Empowerment (SHAPE) Assessment and develop a tailored development plan according to the results of the assessment. Additionally, AAAR will assist companies in expanding their knowledge base by creating an E-learning module comprising training sessions related to the Women Friendly Label.
