“Challenge My Story” is a project that aims to explore differences and similarities in challenges that young men and women in Jordan face in relation to gender-related
topics. With the use of digital storytelling they explore and debate life experiences and challenges they face in the
Jordanian society
QuestionsSociety- Describe a situation or experience you have had with direct and indirect discrimination as a man/women either at your work, home, education, city, sports activities or travel?
Future- Have gender roles changed much in your lifetime? How?- What do you think men’s and women’s roles will be in the future at home, in the workplace, in the community, and in state? How will these roles be different from today?- If you could change anything in your life, what would you change?
Life: - Who do you think has life easier, girls or guys? Why? Have you experienced it?- Do you see yourself as a typical man/woman? Why or why not?- Is it considered more important for one gender to get an education?
Family: - Who is regarded as the head of the family?- Should boys and girls be brought up differently? Why?- As a child and now young person who do you go to for emotional support? For financial support?- Is there different expectations for you and your sister/brothers ?
