Hope for Hurting Families: A Guide to Co-Located Services in the Middle East
Created by the Alliance and Vital Voices Global Partnership in 2010, this manual is now a by-product of the ongoing effort to create a pilot Family Justice Center in Jordan. It is intended to be a resource to communities across the Middle East in seeking to elevate the human rights of women, preserve and celebrate healthy, non-violent families, and advance social change in order to reduce honor killings, murders, murder-suicides, physical assaults of women, female genital mutilation, sexual assault, human trafficking, or forced prostitution. The focus is on using the power of the Family Justice Center model as the strategy to help achieve these ends. The manual includes philosophical issues about family protection, the Jordanian experience, practical lessons and examples from San Diego, and basic steps in seeking to develop Centers in the particular community applying the principles of the Family Justice Center movement.
