In this research, the political participation of women in Jordan was researched. The State has enacted several legislation, policies, and programmes to enhance women's political participation in recent decades. Furthermore, a set of constitutional and legislative amendments were passed in 2022 with the explicit goal of moving political reform forward, and broadening women's political participation. However, female involvement in politics remains low. According to this thesis analysis, this results from several sociocultural, economic, and legal factors.

The research methodology employed two different approaches, side by side, to assess the findings. The first approach was quantitative, which involved examining and analysing figures relating to women's representation in successive Parliament and governments and the scale of their presence within political parties. Qualitative research was used as the second approach, where seven political figures from varying backgrounds were interviewed face-to-face.

The thesis established that despite political reforms, the persistent impeding circumstances and factors would continue to act as roadblocks to women's political advancement, unless there were a significant shift in State’s policies, and other related actors, including political parties. Accordingly, the thesis concludes with a set of recommendations for different related stakeholders.
