Safety from the State

Jordan's Safety from the State score of 7.4 out of 10 suggests that a significant number of people are not safe from one or more of the following: arbitrary arrest, torture and ill-treatment, forced disappearance, execution, or extrajudicial killing.

For civil and political rights, we don't have sufficient data across Middle East and North Africa countries to allow for a regional comparison. However, when compared to the other countries in our sample, Jordan is performing better than average on the right to be safe from the state.

Empowerment

Empowerment data have not yet been produced for Jordan. We would like to expand our data to the whole world as soon as possible. To learn more about how you can help, please visit this page on the HRMI website.
