Visit to QRFCC

After the meetings, Queen Silvia was accompanied by Queen Rania and Princess Rym on a visit of the QRFCC, where they observed the facilities and a number of ongoing initiatives aimed at preventing child abuse and aiding victims of gender-based violence.

The QRFCC staff was commended by Queen Silvia, who said that it was "great to see" the center's work educating kids about child abuse. It's such a challenging problem, but you're working with them in a very individualized, caring, and fantastic way, she remarked.

The JRF Child Safety Program, which supports child safety and welfare, included the establishment of the QRFCC in 2005. The community-based center, which is situated in the Jabal Al Nasr district, provides comprehensive assistance to prevent child abuse and improve families. It has so far assisted about 63,000 women and children.

Queen Rania and Queen Silvia visited "Beit Sgheer," or "My Little Home," which simulates a home atmosphere and uses practical activities to teach kids and parents the fundamentals of a healthy home environment. They also stopped by an art therapy session for victims of gender-based abuse, visited an exhibition of Jordan River Designs goods, and chatted with several JRF recipients.

The Jordan River Foundation (JRF) and Swedish furniture giant IKEA representatives met with Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah and Their Majesties King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden on Tuesday to discuss an ongoing partnership putting Jordanian-made goods on IKEA shelves around the world.

Their Royal Highnesses Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, the escort of honor, and Princess Rym Ali were present at the meeting, which was held at the Queen Rania Family and Child Center (QRFCC) in east Amman. Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström was also there.

Enaam Barrishi, director general of JRF, and Cristiana Serbanescu, project leader for IKEA's new business and innovation program, laid out the partnership's goals for empowering Jordanian and refugee women through sustainable employment at the discussion.

The groundbreaking cooperation, established in 2017, started by hiring less than 100 Jordanian women to handcraft 45,000 items for the "Tilltalande" limited edition textile line, which was inspired by Jordanian culture. Currently, it employs over 420 Jordanian and Syrian refugee women who produce more than 300,000 items annually for IKEA shops across the world, with 65% of those items being marketed in Europe.

King Carl XVI and Queen Silvia were informed of the significant contribution IKEA has made to Jordan River Designs, the design division of JRF, through monitoring visits, advice, and training. As a registered worldwide IKEA supplier, these measures have helped Jordan River Designs make sure that its products completely abide by both international standards and IKEA's demanding internal compliance and quality control standards.

Her Majesty stated that IKEA "sets a very good example of how doing good can be beneficial for business," adding that the partnership is not only profitable commercially but is also improving the lives of Jordanian and Syrian women. IKEA deserves praise for taking the time to increase JRF's compliance and quality control standards, she said, adding, "since we were empowered, we were able to empower hundreds of women, who then benefited hundreds of families."

"I definitely feel at home," said Queen Silvia as she expressed her gratitude for the chance to meet with IKEA while in Jordan. In addition, Queen Rania commended Sweden and IKEA for supporting JRF and providing its beneficiaries with chances they never imagined and a wider market for their goods than they could have ever imagined.
