Whereby, the number of female deputies in the House of Representatives rose to 13 Jordanian women, one of whom won in a competitive manner out of the total (120) members of the House of Representatives, at approximately 11 %. In 2012, the number of seats reserved for women rose to 15 seats, pursuant of the provisions of the House of Representatives Election Act No. 25 of 2012.

In 2016, the House of Representatives Elections Act No. 6 of 2016 maintained the number of seats reserved for women to be (15) out of (130) seats. In this regards, it should be noted that the Center had joined a campaign, undertaken by many civil society originations, when the House of Representatives Elections Act No. 6 of 2016 in force was being debated before the legislative authority, which called for the allocation of one female seat for each constituency, by increasing the number of seats reserved for women to reach (23) seats out (130) deputies. In addition, the year 2011 witnessed the promulgation of the Municipalities Law No. 13 of 2011, according to which the quotas for women in municipal councils were increased from 20% to 25%. Thus, in 2013, women won (345) seats out of (961) seats allocated for municipal councils (representing 35.9%). The share of women’s’ seats, were divided into (282) seats via quota, (51) seats through free competition, and (12) seats by appointment because there were no candidates. The Municipalities Law No. 41 of 2015 was issued and the percentage of quota allocated to women in municipal councils was maintained at 25% . The Political Parties Law of 2012 was promulgated, whereby Article (6) of Law stipulates that “the number of founding members of any party shall not be less than five hundred persons from seven governorates, provided that the number of women shall not be less than 10% and the proportion of founders from each governorate shall be 5%." In 2015, the former Political Parties Law was repealed and the Political Parties Law No. 39 of 2015 was issued. The new Law canceled the women's quota and held men and women to be equal in membership of political parties. - NCHR requested that it is necessary to increase women's quota in municipalities to reach, at this stage, (30%), and then strive towards attaining an equal gender representation in the executive councils and political parties’ boards. 23
