The Stand Up with the Teacher Campaign
Eight years of struggle: Have the power dynamics shifted?
Second case study (April 2015 – August 2023)

This study analyses the endeavours of the Stand Up with the Teacher Campaign, focusing on the human rights predicaments faced by female teachers within the private educational sector, and situating this within the expansive framework of Jordan’s labour and political milieu. The objective is to furnish a comprehensive scholarly work that fosters a dialogue amongst various, intersecting viewpoints and data, thus melding theoretical constructs with palpable fieldwork. The study explores the dynamics of political affiliations, labour rights, unionisation, organised labour, and societal evolution, all in tandem.
The study poses a pivotal question: To what extent has this campaign, in the eight years since its inception, effected alterations in the reality confronting these female teachers in the private domain? In addressing this query, the study contextualises change and juxtaposes it against the campaign’s accomplishments, strategies, and manoeuvres.
