ABSTRACT

‘Amal’ is from Jerash Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan, one of the most socially deprived camps in the country, as the refugees have no citizenship identification due to their family origins from Gaza. In this chapter, she highlights that only further education offers her the potential to interact with peers. Otherwise, for older adolescent girls like herself, the only other legitimate social outlet is religious education classes, which she struggled with due to her impairment. Even in the case of online participation, she only feels comfortable posting anonymously. More girls can also take decisions on marriage. Previously it was forceful, but now they consider the opinion of the girl. She is a public figure on social media. She shares religious advice and general advice.
