Abstract

The recruitment and exploitation of children pose significant threats to the family, society, and the state, contributing to social instability and the erosion of foundational values. This study explores the constitutional and legal frameworks that protect children in Jordan from such practices, emphasizing the causes rooted in economic and social vulnerabilities. The Protection from Domestic Violence Law of 2008 and related legislation serve as cornerstones in addressing child exploitation. Jordanian authorities have adopted a multi-pronged approach involving the development of protective legislation, enhancement of institutional procedures, capacity building for professionals working with children, and the implementation of collaborative projects by governmental and non-governmental organizations. These efforts aim to reduce the prevalence of child exploitation and mitigate its long-term effects. The findings highlight the importance of legal, institutional, and community-based interventions in safeguarding children from recruitment and exploitation in the digital age.
