Adolescent boys in Jordan: the state of the evidence

Adolescent boys living in Jordan have disparate experiences and needs – most of which we know very little about. Although research has been quite limited, with boys’ needs vis-à-vis girls’ poorly explored due to the ways in which the region’s patriarchal traditions leave girls more visibly at risk, on the whole, refugee boys are at higher risk than their native-born Jordanian peers across all domains.
