After her return from Germany where she awarded German Chancellor Angela Merkel with a Golden Victoria Award, today she went to the Ma'an Governorate to meet with the women activist and community leaders, who have made invaluable contributions to their communities in a wide variety of fields.

The local women who met with Her Majesty are working in the fields of education, art, medicine, and social development. They met at the Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II Cultural Center, where she was welcome by Ma’an Governor, Ahmad Omoush, and the center’s director, Yousef Shammari.

During the meeting, the Queen noted that Jordanian women are making significant advances in many fields and securing leadership positions in all industries, commending the women of Ma’an for overcoming obstacles through their unwavering determination.

“This is what His Majesty means when he says the Jordanian woman is the pillar of our society; without her contributions, our Jordanian family cannot grow and prosper,” Her Majesty explained.

Queen Rania also stated that despite Jordanian women’s progress, their status has still not evolved to reflect the magnitude of their ambitions and potential, or the ambitions His Majesty King Abdullah has for them in building and advancing the country.

She added that every positive example of female role models spreads much-needed hope, particularly to our nation’s youth. “An ambitious, educated, capable woman can be a game changer. And that is what I see in all of you,” Her Majesty concluded.

During the meeting, she also heard from President of the Ma’an Women’s Union, Adla Tweisi and President of Al Anwar Charity Association for Women Lana Krishan, who thanked Her Majesty for her efforts in empowering women and expressed her appreciation for the Queen’s work advancing education in Ma’an and across Jordan.
