The British Embassy in Amman is launching a new initiative to give young women in Jordan the chance to experience diplomatic work first hand and join a network of female leaders to advocate for gender equality and social inclusion in Jordan.
The new 'Ambassador For A Day' competition marks International Women's Day on 8 March 2023 (IWD 2023) and celebrates the UN theme 'DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality' and promoting a gender equal world to embrace equity.
This initiative provides an exciting opportunity for young women to experience diplomatic and advocacy work for equality and change, while gaining leadership skills.
British Ambassador Bridget Brind said:
I am delighted to launch this initiative, which seeks to promote the inclusion and greater participation of women in society, to help them fulfil their potential and contribute to better outcomes for all.
The British embassy is committed to empowering the young women of Jordan to make a positive difference. This initiative is known as 'Ambassador for a Day' but we are also encouraging young women to become 'leaders for a lifetime'.
All young women aged 18 to 25 years old are eligible to apply. The competition is open from 8 March until 27 April 2023. The winners will 'shadow' the British Ambassador and the embassy's fantastic female leadership team for a day.
