Civil society welcomes King's call to implement disability rights law
His Majesty King Abdullah during his participation at the opening of the third Global Disability Summit (GDS 2025) in Berlin, co-hosted by the governments of Jordan and Germany along with the International Disability Alliance. The King delivered a speech, emphsising the need to work together and take action to ensure that people with disabilities can live their lives with dignity, happiness and hope (Photo courtesy of Royal Court) AMMAN — Civil society initiatives and disability rights campaigns in Jordan on Tuesday commended His Majesty King Abdullah's speech at the Third Global Disability Summit as a pivotal moment for advancing inclusion and accessibility in the Kingdom. Among the most vocal supporters was the Ibni "My Son" campaign, which described the King's address as 'a formal call to action for the immediate implementation of the Disability Rights Law No. 20 of 2017.' In a press statement sent to The Jordan Times, the campaign said the King's remarks, delivered during the international summit held in Germany, reflected 'genuine political will to advance the rights of persons with disabilities in Jordan.' It added that the speech marked a decisive shift from merely having laws in place to ensuring their effective implementation. "The King's speech serves as a direct notification that the time has come to move from legislation to execution," the campaign noted. 'These laws must be translated into actions that meaningfully improve the lives of persons with disabilities and ensure their full and active participation in society.' The impact of the King's words resonated deeply with individuals from the disability community. Hala Mohammad, a university student with a mobility impairment, told The Jordan Times, 'Listening to His Majesty speak about our rights on a global stage gave me a sense of visibility.' The Ibni campaign also stressed that the King's vision underscored a shared national responsibility to guarantee access to education, healthcare, employment, and social protection for people with disabilities. Disability rights advocate Maha Hassan said, 'Inclusion is not just a social obligation, it is an economic imperative. Empowering persons with disabilities to enter the workforce will boost productivity and support long-term national growth.' The Global Disability Summit convened world leaders, policymakers, and advocates committed to advancing the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. Local activists said King Abdullah's participation was both empowering and timely, especially as Jordan moves forward with broader social protection and inclusion reforms.

King Speaks at the 3rd Global Disability Summit
Ammon News - His Majesty King Abdullah II, on Wednesday, delivered a speech at the opening of the third Global Disability Summit (GDS 2025) in Berlin. The summit was co-hosted by the governments of Jordan and Germany, in partnership with the International Disability Alliance. The King emphasized the importance of collaboration and action to ensure that people with disabilities can lead lives of dignity, happiness, and hope. He stressed that inclusivity goes beyond accessibility—it's about recognizing the potential in every person and fostering an environment where everyone can contribute. His Majesty also highlighted Jordan's progress in supporting the rights of people with disabilities, noting that Jordan was one of the first countries to sign the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Furthermore, the King underscored Jordan's dedication to disability rights through legislation and its innovative centers focused on care, education, rehabilitation, and the integration of people with disabilities into society. He also pointed out the need for greater international efforts in conflict zones, where people with disabilities are particularly vulnerable. His Majesty referenced Jordan's 'Restoring Hope' initiative, which has provided support to over 400 amputees, including children, in Gaza. The full text of the King's speech follows: "In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, Chancellor Scholz, Your Excellencies, Dear friends, It is a pleasure to be here with all of you today. On behalf of Jordan, I thank you for investing your time, expertise, and support in the vital cause of disability rights. I also extend my deep appreciation to Germany and the International Disability Alliance, Jordan's partners in hosting this third Global Disability Summit. Chancellor, my heartfelt thanks to you, the people, and the government of Germany for being such gracious hosts. My friends, Today, every country, regardless of wealth, faces the challenge of fulfilling the rights of our brothers and sisters with disabilities. The disability community itself has the most important role to play, with its knowledge and experience making a world of difference. However, this responsibility is not yours alone. At this Summit and in the coming days, we must work together, commit, and act to ensure that all people can live their lives with dignity, happiness, and hope. Inclusion goes beyond accessibility; it is about recognizing the inherent potential in every individual and creating environments where everyone can contribute. I am proud of the generations of Jordanians who have worked tirelessly for the rights of people with disabilities. Jordan was one of the earliest signatories of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We amended our Constitution to reflect our strong commitment to dignity and respect. Key legislation has been enacted to uphold disability rights, and we have developed national strategies focused on enhancing accessibility, independent living, and inclusive education. Jordan also houses one of the leading centers in the region for early intervention, special education, and vocational rehabilitation for those with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities, and has pioneered services for young people with learning disabilities. Most recently, we established the Royal Academy for Inclusive Education to drive real change in education. Achieving these goals requires collaboration across government, society, and international partners, as seen here today. I congratulate the over 80 Jordanian entities, both public and private, for their concrete commitments to this Summit. Have we done enough? We still have much work ahead to ensure that all Jordanians with disabilities can easily access schools, shops, and voting centers, secure good jobs, live independently, and experience acceptance, respect, and love. My friends, Worldwide, our responsibility is especially urgent for those living in conflict zones, where people with disabilities are even more vulnerable. This underscores the importance of peace, with justice, and the need for timely humanitarian action. The situation in Gaza is a painful reminder. Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita, as well as a significant number of injured adults. Medical facilities have been destroyed, and we need to rethink old approaches. Last autumn, Jordan's Royal Medical Services deployed two custom mobile clinics, staffed by Jordanian medical teams. Using e-consultations with doctors and technicians, we created the world's first children's prosthetic socket, all from the back of a van. To date, over 400 amputees, including children, have benefited from this initiative, bringing them hope. Behind every statistic is a face, a story, and a life of immeasurable value. These individuals are back with their families, and we are proud of the Jordanian doctors and technicians who have answered the call. We call this initiative "Restoring Hope." Here at the Global Disability Summit, we invite all champions of disability rights to help us restore hope to those in Gaza and others in need around the world. Through Restoring Hope, we've demonstrated that leadership, compassion, and innovation thrive even in the darkest and most challenging times. My friends, Where one challenge may hold us back, other strengths and abilities can propel us forward. This is something that people with disabilities have shown the world time and time again. That is the challenge before us at this Summit: to look beyond what is and envision what could be, and to have the courage to bridge that gap. To restore hope, not just through words, but through meaningful actions. Together, we can open a new path to the future—a future where people with disabilities receive the rights, encouragement, and respect they deserve. Let us honor them by what we achieve. Thank you."

His Majesty emphasised the need to work together and take action to ensure that people with disabilities can live their lives with dignity, happiness and hope, stressing that inclusivity is not only about ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities, but also about recognising the potential in every human being and providing an environment in which everyone can contribute. The King highlighted Jordan's progress in supporting the rights of persons with disabilities, as one of the first signatories to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. His Majesty also highlighted Jordan's strong commitment to upholding disability rights through its legislation , and its pioneering centres for the care, education, rehabilitation and integration of persons with disabilities into society. The King spoke of the need to intensify international efforts in conflict zones, where people with disabilities are more vulnerable, noting Jordan's 'Restoring Hope' initiative, which has provided support to more than 400 amputees in Gaza to date, including children. Following is the full text of His Majesty's speech: 'In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, Chancellor Scholz, Your Excellencies, Dear friends, I am delighted to join all of you today. And on behalf of Jordan, let me thank all of you for being here—for investing your time, and expertise, and tangible support, in the vital cause of disability rights. And let me also express my deep appreciation to Germany and the International Disability Alliance—Jordan's partners in this third Global Disability Summit. Chancellor, my special thanks to you, the people of Germany and the government of Germany, for being such gracious hosts. My friends, Today, every country, from the richest to the poorest, is being challenged to fulfil the rights of brothers and sisters with disabilities. And no one has a more important role in success than the disability community itself. Your work, grounded in knowledge and experience, can make a world of difference to others. Yet the responsibility is not yours alone. Here at this Summit—and in all the days ahead—we must work together; we must commit; and we must act—to ensure that everyone can live their lives in dignity, happiness, and hope. Inclusion is not merely about accessibility. It is about recognising the inherent potential in every human being. It is about creating environments where everyone can contribute. My friends, I am proud of the generations of dedicated Jordanians who continue to work for the rights of people with disabilities. Jordan was an early signatory to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We amended our Constitution to reflect Jordan's strong commitment to dignity and respect. Core legislation is in place to uphold disability rights. And far-reaching national strategies are focused on advancing accessibility, independent living, and inclusive education. Jordan is also home to one of the leading centres in the region to focus on early intervention, special education, and vocational rehabilitation for people with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities, and it is also a pioneer for young people with learning disabilities. Most recently, to drive real change in education, we established the Royal Academy for Inclusive Education. And achieving these goals requires work across government and society, as well as international collaboration, as in our meetings here today. And I congratulate the more than 80 Jordanian entities from both the public and private sectors that have made concrete commitments to this Summit. Have we done enough? We still have much more work to do, to make sure that all Jordanians with disabilities can easily travel to schools and shops and voting centres; to get good jobs; to live independently; to find acceptance, respect and love. My friends, Let me say, that worldwide, our responsibility and response is especially important to those living in conflict zones. And people with disabilities are exceptionally vulnerable. This is one more reason why the work for peace, peace with justice, remains vital. And it is also why humanitarian action cannot be delayed. The situation in Gaza is a painful example. Today, Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world, along with massive numbers of injured adults. Medical facilities have been destroyed. And rethinking old ways is greatly needed. Last autumn, Jordan's Royal Medical Services deployed two customised mobile clinics, staffed by Jordanian medical teams. Working with the children, and using e-consultation to bring doctors and technicians, we have seen the creation of the world's first children's socket. From the back of a van! To date, over 400 amputees, including children, have benefitted and acquired new hope. And behind every statistic is a face, a story, a life of immeasurable value. They are back with family once more. We are immensely proud of the Jordanian doctors and technicians who have responded to the need. We call this initiative, 'Restoring Hope.' And here at this Global Disability Summit, we ask you, the champions of disability rights, to join us in helping 'restore hope' to Gazans, and others in jeopardy, worldwide. Through Restoring Hope, we demonstrated that leadership, compassion, and innovation flourish in the darkest and most difficult of places. My friends, Where one challenge holds us back, other strengths and abilities can become our gateway forward: That's something that people with disabilities have proven to the world, again and again. This is our challenge at this Summit: to look beyond what is, to envision what could be, and to summon the courage to bridge that gap. To restore hope, not just through words, but through actions. And together, we can open a new gate to the future, a future in which people with disabilities are afforded the rights, encouragement, and respect they are due. Let us honour them by what we achieve. Thank you. ' The Jordanian delegation included HH Prince Mired bin Ra'ad, chief royal councillor at the Royal Hashemite Court and president of the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Alaa Batayneh, as well as Jordan's Ambassador to Germany Fayez Khouri.
