Irbid, Dec. 19 (Petra) - President of Yarmouk University, Dr. Islam Massad, and Head of Jordan Forum for Business and Professional Women (JFBPW) Dr. Reem Baghdadi, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) Thursday, to expand, develop and coordinate joint cooperation relations in enhancing partnership.

The effort aims to exchange information, raise awareness of the culture of women's rights and empowerment, and hold workshops, as well as other frameworks for ongoing collaboration.

Masad also stressed the importance of strengthening partnership relations with various "leading" national institutions to serve Jordanian women.

Through Princess Basma Centre for Jordanian Women's Studies, he said the university looks forward to supporting and implementing projects aimed at empowering women in all fields and in the public and private sectors by conducting peer-reviewed research studies, training programs and targeted awareness activities.

Massad stressed the university's endeavor to enhance contribution of Jordanian women to economic and social development and support the national economy with "qualified and trained" female capabilities.

Under the memo, the two sides cooperate and orchestrate efforts in the field of preparing joint studies on women's human rights and team up to implement activities and seminars for this purpose.

To achieve this goal, each provides the other with references and documents on women's empowerment and information to draft the annual report on the human rights situation in the women's axis.
