Know your rights: The Jordanian Constitution
Today Al-ghad is carrying a special supplement containing the full text of the Jordanian Constitution. Al-Rai is also carrying the full text of the Constitution and an ad campaign with the slogan ‘Know your rights, protect yourself’. The three published ads are about the Constitution, against nepotism and against early marraige.
The ads carry the logos of the Ministry of Political Development, Law Group for Human Rights, as well as the flags of the European Union and the Netherlands. A legal helpline telephone number is also mentioned.
