Amman, Jordan (ACCTS-AWT) – Nineteen young women gathered at The Arab Center for Consulting and Training Services on Balance in Health and Nutrition, conducted by nutritionist Sara AlKurdi*.
Specific details that a woman care about were tackled such as, Matching between Skin, eye and hair colors; Natural masks; Healthy Food and Necessary Vitamins; Oxidants and their Effect on the Body; and Psychology and how it affects the Woman’s Image. Practical Information was presented opening the door for women to ask questions relating to their body image and health.
Body measurements were taken to ladies to determine
the best dressing style that suits the different body shapes
A questionnaire was applied to examine how much each lady cares about her body and the winners who got the higher rates were offered “Free Dietitian Assistant”, as encouragement. Some were also offered some vouchers from a beauty center and form the Jordanian Center for Chinese Medicine.
Jordan Women Workshops (JW) are aimed at raising awareness, embracing positive attitudes and acting decisively. Such Workshops encourage the women to break the silence in regard to violence through both peaceful means and the use of professional organizations, start training their kids to be aware of sexual boundaries, benefit from the mistakes of other women, consider acquiring their own source of income and to discuss with their husbands beforehand their basic need for greater personal resources, seek a more balanced healthy life in their roles, self-care and lifestyle, examine values and experience life-changing truths, request private, on-site consultation to women who need it.
Young women seeking help and advice are followed up through counseling, either directly after the sessions, or via phone calls and planned meetings.
The warm and friendly atmosphere helps the young women
open up and support each other
We expect from this program that Arab young women from the different Backgrounds who attend our Jordan Women Workshops will have increased knowledge and awareness about themselves and different life issues, which will help them make better decisions in regard to their lives and motivate them to break the cycle of destructive social practices.
