The study aimed at identifying the social, economic and demographic characteristics of young women associated with the Jordanian political parties, determining the motives behind their participation in political parties,, defining the internal and external challenges they faced, describing the main activities they executed, and illuminating the main opportunities they had to promote their participation.

The study employed the analytical descriptive methodology with quantitative methods, where a quantitative questionnaire was used to collect the data from (145) young women • The most important results can be summarized as following: The most important motive that encouraged the young women to become associated with Jordanian political parties was their belief in the party system.

Young women from all the parties' factions agreed that the most important external challenge they face was the lack of political awareness regarding political parties in society, and the most important internal challenge they face was the low number of women within the parties.

Young women were active in all political parties but the young women from the leftist political parties showed the utmost activism.

There were differences in the opportunities available for young women to develop their political participation within their political parties depending on the factions they were associated with.
