Safeguarding challenging’s and Practices
Jordan
is committed to the promotion and protection of human rights.
Jordanians and the Syrian refugees in Jordan have much in common,
including language, culture and religions. The common cultural factors
between Jordanians and Syrian refugees do not eliminate small
discrepancies in habits and customs. Everyone living in Jordan is
protected from discrimination and has the right to present complaints of
discrimination to courts. Acts of violence or provocation against a
person or any group of persons is a crime, and discriminatory
propaganda, including in the media, as well as the incitement to
violence, terrorism, racial or religious hatred is prohibited by the law
in Jordan.
The
rights of refugees are respected in Jordan and any limitation of their
rights is within the limits of international instruments, adding that in
Jordan, diversity is a strength.
Our
university (AABU) provides an appropriate environment for Syrian
refugees. No cases were reported as discrimination during the past two
years in the certificate program. All students have the right to study,
to move freely inside the university, and to use all facilities as well
as Jordanian students.
However,
due to being displaced, financial problems, limited resources in
refugee camps, poor housing, death of relatives and friends because of
the civil war, some Syrian refugees suffer depression and emotional
strains. It is for these reasons that the certificate program at AABU
provides them with mentoring and psychosocial support
