Incest in Jordan0
While browsing through the news today, I came across an article that talks about incest in Jordan. The first paragraph was very touching. It talked about a 14 years old girl who got pregnant by her father. Of course in our society no legal action was taken against the father and instead they married her off to a 30 years older man.

They say that there is always a bright side. They say that what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. They say a lot of things, but I think that if you’re in the middle of the situation you keep thinking “Will it ever get better? Will I ever see the bright side?” Then, you [...]

Since I’ve started this blog I’ve been wondering about what the Jordanian society thinks about child- and boyhood sexual abuse.

In the first days after launching my blog, I received a message on Twitter: I share your pain. A very short message, but long enough for me to understand that Yazan Amin, which is a pseudonym, went through the same horror as me. We started chatting and I asked him if he’d like to be [...]
