Age- and gender-based violence facing young people in Jordan: findings from GAGE midline evidence

This report draws on mixed-methods data collected in late 2022 and early 2023 by the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) research programme and aims to support national and international efforts to improve the bodily integrity of young people in Jordan. Our sample includes nearly 3,000 adolescents and young adults – mostly Syrian refugees but also Palestinians living in Gaza camp and vulnerable Jordanians. Our findings underscore that young people in Jordan have highly uneven access to bodily integrity and freedom from age- and gender-based violence, with often large disparities between adolescents and young adults, between females and males, across nationalities, between Syrians living in different locations, and by disability and marital status.
