Many people might not know their rights stipulated in the Jordanian Constitution, laws and international conventions on Human Rights ,all the more so because these international conventions have not been as yet published in the Official Gazette. Moreover, the provisions of the Jordanian Constitutions and laws are not widely published in a legal language. In fact, they need to be re-drafted in a simplified way that could be understood by the ordinary citizens. The guide’s chapters covers the following topics : • The concept of citizenship • The rights of the citizen in the field of civil liberties • The rights of the citizen in economic, social and cultural fields • The rights of the worker • The rights of the public sector employee • Women’s Rights • The rights of the child • The rights of the citizen in front of the public prosecutor, judges and courts • The rights of the citizen with regard to the police • The rights of the prisoner in reform and rehabilitation centers • A guide to Human Rights organizations in Jordan	Content
