In her capacity as an executive team member of SADAQA, the leading women’s economic rights organization in Jordan, Sahar leads advocacy efforts with the aim of lowering the three main structural barriers for women to enter the workforce in Jordan including the lack of workplace daycares, public transport, and pay inequity. Sahar has been responsible for launching several studies and nationwide campaigns, and coordinating community and civil society efforts pertaining to the rights of public transport users and women’s rights to a violence and harassment-free work environment.
