Civil Rights
In 1995, the Jordanian delegates opposed having the United Nations Conference of Women address the human rights of gay and bisexual women.
As of 2010, no law exists to protect Jordain citizens from harassment or discrimination on the account of sexual orientation or gender identity. No political party, interest group or member of the government has publicly shown any support for LGBT-rights.
Likewise, same-sex marriages, civil unions and domestic partnerships are not legally recognized in Jordan. The government funded, National Center for Human Rights has not yet dealt with LGBT human right issues.
