Dear IFMSA-Jo Family, It is with great privilege and honor I present to you this issue of the IFMSA-Jo Magazine. "IFMSA-Jo was established in pursuit of providing a platform for medical students to harness their skills and unleash their hidden potentials. Driven and led by medical students, we provide new levels of motivation and dedication, and this was reflected by the active participation in community service." I'm proud to be in this position for an organisation that believes in community service; an organisation that represents and brings together future healthcare professionals, and serves as a platform for advocacy, education, collaboration, management, and communication, with the aim of empowering and shaping the skilled and culturallycompetent physicians of tomorrow . In the next following pages, you will witness the beautiful writings of our medical students SIVE on the topics of gender-based violence, the year 2020, and how social media affects our mental health.As medical students who tackle these issues on a daily basis, allow this to add to your insight, experience, and knowledge. I would like express my gratitude to the team who worked so hard on this issue of IFMSAJo Magazine, and to send my love and appreciation to the team who worked tirelessly during this term, the Team of Officials for the term of 2019/2020, or as I call them, the Family of Officials. I wish you a pleasant reading filled with joy, and a feel of changing the world around us. As we always say in the IFMSA world, “Think global, act local.� Best regards,Husam AlTarawneh IFMSA-Jo President 2019/2020

Dear Readers, Allow me to begin my message to you by introducing myself. My name is Yasmeen Shebli, a sixth year medical student at the University of Jordan, a passionate IFMSAian, and IFMSA-Jo’s Vice President for International Affairs for the term of 19/20. It is my pleasure to be welcoming you to our final edition of the IFMSA-Jo magazine for this term. IFMSA has been a central pillar of my life for the better part of 4 years now, and during that time I had an array of experiences that have shaped the person I am today. At first, IFMSA to me was just another extracurricular that I used to fill any free time I had, but it quickly turned into an activity I was eager to participate in and be a part of. From NGAs to exchanges and international meetings, IFMSA is the place where I made the memories and friends I cherish the most. SIVE Holding office as an IFMSA-Jo official has been the most thrilling time for me in the organization so far. With an exceptional executive board and a team of officials bursting with enthusiasm, this term is certainly one for the books. Our experience this year is unique, to say the least, and definitely one full of firsts. I am glad to say that even a global pandemic did not hinder the spirits of the team; if anything, it brought out the best in all of us and pushed us to our limits, with every one of us coming through and delivering on our promises. This year, I was honored to head the IFMSA-Jo delegation to the EMR16 and IFMSA’s first EVER Online General Assembly, representing IFMSA-Jo to the world to the best of my ability along with great delegates who displayed dedication and perseverance. The responsibility entrusted to me taught me a vast amount of things, and I am proud of the expertise we brought back to share with our beloved NMO.

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme.” – Mahatma Gandhi
While this year was a challenge for all of us, one thing I think we can agree on is we all explored our capacity to adapt to change. The pandemic forced us to stray from our regular way of life to one we never previously thought was possible. The biggest change we experienced in IFMSA as a whole was going virtual – which, in the start, was an SIVE absurd feeling. From online meetings becoming the norm, to attending international meetings and NGAs behind our laptop screens as opposed to the large halls we are accustomed to convening in, we slowly shifted our activities’ locations to the virtual world. But even virtually, IFMSA still delivered on the promise of providing a space for students from all around the world to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and create new friendships. I would like to end this by saying thank you to every single person who made this term a special one, particularly my Team of Officials, who made every step of the way memorable, and turned the cumbersome workload into pure joy. Thank you to every single IFMSA-Jo member who worked on making our NMO grow even more despite all the obstacles, and for all the time they dedicated to delivering projects and activities that benefited medical students and our community. I do not know where my journey goes from here, but I can promise you this is not the end; no matter what my position in this organization is, I will continue to serve our NMO to the best of my ability.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “You can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets”. This idea is always on my mind when it comes to going for a life changing event in my life. My story in IFMSA began 5 years ago when I got into a tent filled with medical students having fun and I thought to myself, what can a medical student do to change the world? Is medical school really all about burying your face in the endless books? At first, I got selected as IFMSA-Jo JUST LC’s Secretary General, and it got me thinking, should I really just do the dull, usual, boring work and only wear the fancy shoes? Or should I make a revolution? Going for something without leaving a mark was never in my SIVE dictionary, so I simply made a revolution. After a year of hard work, I got elected as IFMSA-Jo’s Secretary General and I decided to dedicate my all and my whole scope of work for the members, the students who are crazy and courageous enough to change the world as medical students. I started by working on a new way of documentation and creating a unified professional database by updating the IFMSA-Jo website to include a registration portal for the members so everything can be documented on the official member profile, along with a unified scoring system for the members in order to make it easier to give each and every one of them full credit for their efforts. It wasn’t easy, and at first it was unappealing, but with the right promotion for it we now have more than a thousand registered members. Every future leader deserves the credit for his/her work as I believe everyone should be credited for their work, and this was the only way I could feel satisfied with my work. Because I promised at the beginning of my IFMSA career to give my one hundred percent at all times, this made me work on being active for the longest time possible so I can issue everything on time. You can say I’m always on call.

Almost a month ago, the passion grew even bigger and I decided to go for something new, something outside the box, something that I never thought that would happen; I ran for an international position in IFMSA, and I am currently IFMSA Finances Development Assistant. They say life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and I do believe that everything in life needs three things, which are: vision, passion, and courage.
I do believe that everything takes some courage to be done; it takes a person’s courage to apply for a position, it takes courage to go to school and work, it takes courage to write SIVE an article. However, courage alone is insufficient; the fuel for this courage is passion. I do believe that passion is what makes a person do something with full courage and give it his 100%. I also believe that you need to have the vision for what you want to do and drive your passion towards. Having those three combined aligned with the skills deletes the word “impossible” from the person’s dictionary and will help in spreading the vision to the whole universe.

Dear Readers , During the past several months, many advances and changes have taken place in our world especially in our ability to communicate as we used to be, gatherings and meetings are not the same and so on our aims and focuses . But ,These are exciting times that offer new opportunities for collaboration, networking and support each other during these hard times , and that's why our idea and core of work on the new magazine got a whole different aspect than it used to be .
This month also marks the ending of our term and the beginning of other successful one , It has been an honor to serve in this role. Indeed, it is always great to find the change you wanted to see in the world around you and to roll the wheel even of all disruption , Both the Team of Officials and members who became our leaders of tomorrow have accomplished work that has shifted the trajectory of the Association this year, and in thinking back over the past few SIVE years, the hard, collaborative work of many has created the potential for ongoing growth and development. What have I learned? My capacity to see nuances and detail has warred with the necessity to visualize simplicity in a complex environment. For me, the process of draft and redraft, posting and writing and linking people and their ideas with what all of our members see, and talking it through with others, has been ongoing. I have learned that when I call for help, colleagues all across this Association and beyond will respond. I have learned that even when we differ on strategies, we may share great intents and objectives.To me, associations like IFMSA-Jo are fundamentally optimistic. While we honor the presence of medical students and deliver their visions and make a real change, we look forward as we assume continuous learning and improvement ,

“I am stronger than my fears, bolder than my insecurities.” “This is difficult, but I CAN handle it.” - Aileen Xu
The term of 2019-2020 was an eventful term. Hurriedly ushered into our homes and locked in before we could grasp the full scope of the situation, we felt like soldiers unprepared for war against this virus. Pet store owners were frantically clamoring for solutions to avoid finding a room filled with the dead bodies of their furry friends weeks later, students had their books locked up in lockers miles away from home just days away from their exams, surgeries and prescription refills were cancelled, and various conferences, meetings and student activities planned for months in advance and costing thousands of JDs were cancelled. When will we be free again? When will things return to normal? Is this the new normal? What does the outside world look like now? Just as Wuhan’s snowy Spring Festival was blanketed in SIVE white silence, it was now our turn for our lives here in Jordan to be smothered with fear, worries, and uncertainty. The lockdown extended seemingly indefinitely, adding fuel to the growing fires in our minds and hearts. But we put out those fires and rose from the ashes. Together, we thrived. Some of us altruistically threw ourselves into the dangerous uncertainty and volunteered to wear the vests of honor and deliver medications to those sickly people locked up at home who needed it. Unable to hold our campaigns on the field, some of us went online instead and took advantage of today’s technologies to wire money transfers to refugees in need. Recognizing that some of our peers’ mental health was suffering, some of us helped alleviate that by reaching out, holding online meetups, creating safe pages and platforms on social media to discuss mental health, holding online events like chess tournaments, and being present. Understanding that passing or failing the whole year was on the line for thousands of medical students, some of us offered online lessons, shared tips and summaries, and reached out to policy makers and media outlets as a thronging, unrelenting mass fighting for the
17
rights of medical students and fighting for representation in lockdown announcements that were consistently excluding us. Fearing the repercussions of the lockdown on our prospects of studying abroad, some of us formed study groups, took online classes, and excelled. We pleasantly surprised ourselves with our fortitude in the face of adversity.
We did anything and everything to cope and keep ourselves and each other sane. Some of us developed new habits, some revisited old ones. Some of us summoned the Marie Kondo within us, some baked, some launched their dream businesses online†, some hopped on TikTok challenges, some found solace in trying out trends from different parts of the world (South Korean Dalgona coffee ring a bell?), some enrolled in online exercise classes (exercise buddies hold us accountable!), some finally read all the books on our to-read lists, and some of us learned self-love. Some of us took a much needed break, and some of us used much needed SIVE extra time to catch up, be that with family, classes, or sleep. Here is my message to you all: we did well, are doing well, and shall continue to do well. United we stand strong, unwavering and undefeatable. Last edition we said #We_Stand_With_Jo. I’m here to tell you we’re still standing, proudly. Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavours, Myassar Al-Zoubi **** If you’d like to see what businesses our medical students launched, see our featured article: Shining the Light on Our Aspiring Entrepreneurs.

In 01/22/2017, I volunteered for the first time in my life in an awareness campaign about HIV and AIDS. I couldn’t forget how supportive the amazing leader Dr. Baha'a Al-Momani was, and honestly from that day forward a passion for volunteer work grew inside of me. I’ve always wondered what the trajectory of my life would’ve been if he was pessimistic and said things like, “You can’t do anything when you’re a medical student” or “You’re too young to be volunteering”.
Today, I can proudly say that I have volunteered in a total of 47 events as a participant, been part of the organizing committee in 9 campaigns, been the leader of 4 campaigns, supervised a total of 8 term-long campaigns as an officer, and currently I am the Secretary General of IFMSASIVE Jo UJ/LC. In my journey of 4 years I have noticed the lack of encouragement from family and friends to medical students when considering doing voluntary work due to them supposedly “not being free to do anything but studying” and voluntary work being “useless”, and these are extremely incorrect statements. The most important thing I want to address in this post is the fact that as a community, medical students break each other down. We rarely support each other and we usually never lose an opportunity to be pessimistic, and this is something dangerous as those who recently start medical school are being strongly discouraged from the stories that they have heard from us, and this has to change! Personally, this was my last year as an active IFMSA member, and I hope that I have built a good base for our future leaders. It has been an honor serving our community and helping the IFMSA-Jo UJ Local Committee grow.

For someone like me An indecisive nobody I never really gave the future much thought My parents told me… why don't you give medicine a shot? They told me you have what it takes to be a physician And from that day onwards I had a mission It started off with some basic maths and physic s And on the side, I was working on some lyrics Poetry was my getaway, all my escapes When the world turned ugly and closed all its drapes Things at med-school started smoothly Everything was great, truly But after the first year, I started losing myself Felt like a dust-covered book left on a shelf They told me, attend lectures it will all be just fine But my body shut down and my mind went offline “Why not study some biochemistry? ”Something is off, my brain’s chemistry I wanted to save lives But my own thoughts were knives I wanted to help patients come out alive and nursed But how about I start with my own life first?

Ever since the high school dream was over, I felt like my whole life went on pause. I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life. My high school grades were A-okay and the typical Arab family whispers of “be a doctor or an engineer” gnawed at my ear. I really didn't have my mind set on anything and I wasn't opposed to anything either. I just wanted an answer to my constant doubts about my distant future. Little did I know, no one can spoon-feed you the answers to your own life. And so, I decided to give medicine a shot. The first year was simple and sweet, with so much time on our hands and so much to explore. The second year was where the not-so-exciting surprises waved hello. The pressure was unreal, and I really had no time to sit down with myself and do the thing I loved most… writing poetry. I fell down a deep dark cycle of toxic thoughts and felt like I lost hope. I decided to join the IFMSA-Jo, not knowing what it held for me. It took my mind off the pressure of studying, and helped set many of my thoughts free. I met and made many new friends, people that I can call my second family... But above all, joining their CPRS Division was the true highlight of my basic years. Being a part of the CPRSD helped me write my heart out again the way that I always longed to, the way I always loved to. My journey towards self- gratification was finally complete, med-school, what an ultimate definition of the bittersweet.

2020 “CORONA YEAR” BY : TALA HADDAD It all started by shouting “Happy New Year” Not knowing what’s coming, a future unclear Worrying about things that are shallow Suddenly, coronavirus hit us with an arrow It seemed like a holiday at first Turned out to be a nightmare, the worst No one has immunity against it Wealthy or poor, we can all catch the hit Fourteen days became several weeks Quarantined, until our government speaks Everything went back to normal with caution Sadly, we swam from the lake to the ocean News and rules every single day Trying to push the virus away Wearing masks and gloves everywhere you go As the concept of social distancing started to grow More cases and deaths every day we hear It became closer, which grew the fear As we worry most about the elderly Because most of them are unstable medically Life can easily pass as fast as a blink Don’t take it for granted, because you may sink A year went by as if it was yesterday “Be thankful for everything”, as wise men say

THE UNRECOVERABLE WOUND BY : LAYAN BDIER Who could’ve thought that a day you’ve been living as a routine, for who knows how long, could drastically change in a matter of weeks. Having your daily dose of steaming coffee and a good generous chat with your mates every morning at school turned into drinking coffee alone with the “breaking” news popping up on your TV at home. A friend you promised you’d meet up with for dinner because it’s been a while since you’ve caught up – that won’t be happening anytime soon. A holiday you’ve been planning for yourself to a beach resort as an escape from stress has happened to become an in-house imprisonment with a view of your neighbour’s laundry rack. But wait, that’s not all what happened in this dreadful year!
First, we’ll bare our souls and come around to talk about how unfortunate the year 2020 has been. What started off as “Look at the beautiful fireworks lighting up the sky!” so soon became “FIRE! FIRE! IT’S LIGHTING UP OUR FORESTS!”. Huge wildfires have engulfed the forests and wildlife of Australia, destroying millions of animal habitats and others that could not have SIVE survived, and cost the world agony and pain. The fire subsided in the wake of the vicious monster, COVID-19, a pandemic that arose from China and rapidly spread worldwide until it reached our country. COVID-19, unrelenting, turned the world upside down. Countless immigrants got locked up far from home, their families and kids, safety, and tranquillity. Numerous individuals had to go through the disease and its harshness, some getting out of it as strong fighters of the virus, yet so many other beloved ones have left their families with no prior warning. Many went jobless and unable to pay for food, bills, and rent. Students turned to obligatory online learning in which their universities were not well prepared for. Out of boredom and the flatness, everyone grew sick and tired of the days. A whole lot developed anxiety that evolved into depression. Not to mention having to stress about staying healthy,
27
wearing your masks and gloves, keeping your distance from others, and not going outside in the fear that you might catch the virus and spread the disease to your family at home. COVID19 got us weak in the knees and mourning throughout all these months. Just as we thought things couldn’t get any worse, Lebanon blazed and collapsed. An unexpected bomb in the Beirut Port scarred souls of innocent people, taking the lives of many who were living for not more than mercy and peace. Homeless in their own countries, sleeping with the debris of what was once their solid homes and exposing themselves more to the dangers of COVID-19. Hot tears of grief shedding as their dreams are shredding. Nightmares crept among them and us. All our prayers and wishes were for paradise to be restored in Lebanon, the gleaming Arabian bride.
Now we all agree on how out of the ordinary 2020 has been. Some might say it was a complete, utter waste of a year, several would add it was horrific and a true nightmare. Others would oppose and say it was a true rehabilitation for oneself and a change towards the good, SIVE awaiting and wishing upon a shooting star for what’s better in the upcoming years. Stay thoughtful, uplifted, and always seek to find the halo on a dark night. It always starts from within you, sp be keen to share the light with those who surround you.

HOW I OVERCAME MY 2020 BY : DR.OBADA AL-NAHAWI Let’s start from the beginning: I was done with the hard work and finally got my degree as a medical doctor. As I was also very actively participating in IFMSA and university activities, I had been on many travels and projects, so I am used to managing and organizing my time effectively to accomplish many things and reach my goals. Sometimes, however, things get out of hand due to unpredicted, external events that surprise you and render you unable to do or even think of anything; it is like a daydream where you are shaken from your world into the pace of the external one. For me, this external phenomenon was the year 2020.
As a fresh medical school graduate in Jordan, you are required to complete one year of internship before you can pursue your dreams by choosing one of three paths: the first is choosing to be a general physician with your acquired experience and open your clinic; the SIVE second is to apply for a master’s degree or a PhD and be an academic and/or researcher; and the third route, the one most aspire to follow, is to become a specialist by applying to residency programs and continuing your medical training. All three options are valid, but in 2020 choosing the third route to become a specialist became the trickiest option as limited seats were available in our home country for a huge number of applicants (around 10 times that of last year). Additionally, many countries closed their borders and lockdowns were implemented, which affected international licensing exams everyone was preparing for (such as USMLE steps, PLAB, etc.). I was one of the students who had dreamt of specializing and began preparing for the PLAB in my internship year to be an early bird when I sit for it, yet despite my preparations my scheduled exam got cancelled twice because of the COVID-19 pandemic,
30
which actually ended up making me take longer than my friends – even though they started preparations after me – because I couldn’t reschedule my exam before cancellation procedures had been completed. Thankfully, I never stopped dreaming and never gave up hope. My family supported me throughout my journey, and I worked part-time jobs and trained to maintain my skills and knowledge. Alongside my jobs I studied again for my chance, scheduled the test, and finally made it!
As doctors, we face many struggles and hardships, both mentally and physically, but no matter what happens we should remember our goals and never waver. If you feel you are SIVE getting sucked into this black hole of confusion, indecisiveness or bewilderment, NEVER give up. Try again and start from the beginning; search for answers, ask around, and re-plan and organize but this time with a strategy and backup plans. Indeed, I can say that with planning I feel I’m one step ahead. I have no regrets. I won't compare my path to anyone else’s, or get hung up on how it was supposed to be, or worry about how old I’ll be when I’ve completed residency, as nothing is fixed or guaranteed in this world. Just have faith that you can do what you aspire to, and let us change our mindset and approach to 2020 to appreciate it as a lesson that taught us how to hustle in life.

THE STRENGTH OF THE BAD BY : HANEEN ABDALLAT Giving up can’t be the choice anymore!! At first look, you would say no doubt 2020 is bound to be the worst year. The pandemic has changed many aspects in our lives. For the first time ever lockdowns were applied, so people are not allowed to leave their homes. Companies, airports, and schools are all closed. Employees were fired from their jobs, students abroad have returned to their countries, and many businesses have been shut down. A class of people chose the easiest action in response: they gave up, quit, and were satisfied not achieving their goals and letting things get worse.
However, for others, the lockdown created free time for THOSE who chose to stand by preparing to fly when doors are opened, THOSE who believe that they can change the world SIVE despite all hindrances, even from their homes. Meetings, jobs, and online lectures are held on various apps. Free time is invested in creativity, growing a better mentality, discovering hobbies and passions, learning our role in life, and rebuilding destroyed family relationships. 2020 is like every issue and problem in our lives, where there are 2 perspectives, the bad and the good, and YOU are the one who holds the laser and chooses what to focus on and invest in. YOU DON’T CHOOSE YOUR DAYS, BUT YOU DO FILL IN THE DETAILS. 2020 was a year that ruined all plans and placed our sense of hope in imbalance, but in every bad thing there is definitely good, and you will find much more to celebrate if you look at the long term trend instead of viscerally clenching onto every horror story of the day. Remember that eternal success is built from overcoming difficulties.

BETWEEN SANITY AND MADNESS BY : NADA HAMADNEH
The most frequent questions we have been hearing lately is: what has this year taught you? What were the outcomes and how have they changed you? My mind tends to interpret that group of words into one question, a question that interrogates my sanity – rather, our sanity as a whole – and occasionally deep down I can hear it whispering a response.Seeking the silver lining, optimists grow an understanding that this year has been the year of detoxification and replenishment of energy. As a realist, I have come to understand the spectrum of being distant and withdrawn. When we come to realize that everything is temporary, including the air we instinctively breathe, it leads us down a road that ends with the fact that being a detached observer is the ultimate victory. The token to maintain balance on the razor-sharp, thin line between sanity and madness is detachment. Individuals mistake detachment for feeling a loss in interest, or ignoring the details and losing attentiveness. I, on the other hand, would like to define it as the SIVE embracement of unpredictability, the state in which no thoughts own you. We grow day by day searching for true freedom, which some – including myself – like to define it as being free from the mind’s desire to control the uncontrollable. Personally, I have found it a privilege to cut all the strings attached to expectations. As Dr. Steve Maraboli pointed out, “Expectation feeds frustration. It is an unhealthy attachment to people, things and outcomes we wish we could control but don’t.” Just let that sink in. Reaching a state of mind where I am convinced that letting myself off the hook, allowing things to flow and having energy for the things that are meant for me has incredibly helped me find my inner peace, and I have never felt such success. May we all prioritize the fact that finding our inner peace is more important than driving ourselves mad trying to understand why things did not go as planned. Mental detachment does magic, but unfortunately, we are too blinded by our chaotic assumptions and unnecessary attached strings.

WHEN OUR MINDS BECAME INTROVERTED BY : HANIN LATAIFEH If you were to talk to a person working a 9-5 job, a student who’s living abroad, or anyone whose life is continuously on the go; and asked them what they imagine to be the worst scenario that can affect their lives; I can assure you that a 60-140 nanometer virus1 has most definitely not crossed their minds. Not only did all of our lives come to a halt in the most surprising way, but we were – and still are – living in fear of falling ill to this virus; not knowing how our bodies will react if subjected to it, and not knowing how many people we can spread it to if we aren’t careful enough! But perhaps the one thing we didn’t expect to affect us this much, was how we all became homebodies; not leaving the perimeters of our houses unless it was necessary. I, for one, as an ambivert with extroverted tendencies, was glad to take a break from my fast-paced life. I decided it was a not-somagnificent way to wind down and take a break. Granted I could’ve done those things without a worldwide pandemic, but considering I’m quite the optimistic individual; I decided to think of it that way. It was fun at first, but then I quickly realized that me, and the whole world, now have all the time in our hands to think about our lives, and after 6 months of falling down that rabbit hole, I think we can all agree that our mental health has been affected immensely.
SIVE
I never knew how distracting our lives can be; how working a 9-5 job or attending lectures all day can take up so much of our minds. But one thing I know for sure, is that spending this much time alone without an agenda; invites an intense crowd of thoughts. Some of them might’ve actually been important, and we were suppressing them instead of facing them head on and trying to fix them. However, the others are a result of the way our brains are wired to think negatively, and those are the scariest. For example, in this period I realized the true importance of self-love and self-appreciation, and how wonderful of a feeling it is for us to appreciate ourselves with all our imperfections. But on the other hand, it is the 6-month period that opened a door for me to discover flaws I didn’t even know I had! Which I find quite comical if I’m being honest; to teach my self how to deal with my imperfections and negative traits, only to find out I have more of them that I have yet to discover. I know for a fact that I’m not the only person who experienced a rollercoaster of reflections and thought processes, but I discovered in the end that this is the beauty of the human mind, and there is no right or wrong in the way everyone coped with this period of isolation. As it is also part of appreciating and loving ourselves; to appreciate and love the way our brains work!

SOCIAL LIFE THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC
BY : RAMA RAYYAN There is no doubt that the pandemic affected all our life aspects and more exclusively our social life. Everyone had mixed feelings on the state of the world and fear of the unknown. The uncertainness we accommodated to became part of our lifestyle. No one knew what might happen next, how long the lockdown will last, nor how or if our in-class education will resume. Regardless of all the obstacles the lockdown brought, it has definitely made us appreciate our everyday lives that we took for granted previously. It united the whole world together and taught us the vitality of taking good care of our health and hygiene. Medical students and the pandemic
Every group of people was affected by the pandemic to a different extent depending SIVE on their age, occupation, status, and other reasons. Medical students more specifically coped with the pandemic via several methods. Some turned the lockdown to their favour and put more time and effort into their studies. The energy they used to put into attending the university and transportation was now devoted to their studying which significantly reflected on their grades and knowledge. Some invested the time into their neglected hobbies and used the lockdown as chance to develop and discover their talents and skills, while others took it upon themselves to contribute and volunteer with the pandemic’s responsible bodies in hopes of giving back to society.

Mental health It might be extremely challenging for people to maintain their sanity in such tough times. Many relied on different activities to boost their mental health on daily basis. The new state of things limited most of these activities and so, the mental health of the majority suffered as a result. The combination of uncertainness, stress, fear, and isolation gave depression, social anxiety, and many other mental health disorders the perfect conditions to amplify or take over. WHO and other health organization offered advice for people to prevent the downfall of their mental health such as exercising, developing a healthy lifestyle, limiting news intake, taking things one day at a time, practicing gratitude, and staying connected to friends and family members. However, some were affected significantly and needed more professional care from therapists and psychiatrists to overcome their suffering.
Online learning SIVE
Online learning has its pros and cons when viewed from different aspects. It limits the students’ feedback on the level of understanding which severely affects the effectiveness of the learning process. In addition, it can be boring and unbearable as it limits – and in some cases, completely inhibits – any interaction, which demotivates students. On the other hand, online learning cuts down the time and costs of transportation, therefore making it more accessible, and more time can be spent studying the material in further depth or practicing hobbies and even relaxing more. The pandemic affected our lives in all its aspects without us realizing. It cleared our minds and maybe even inspired some to reconsider their life decisions and set plans and goals for their future. It made us appreciate the outside world, every human interaction, and our routine prior to the changes. Like many other unpleasant events in our lives, this will pass sooner or later and it will be nothing but a memory. Hence, let us focus on the full half of the cup, the bright side.

TOBACCO CONTROL: AN ENABLING TOOL BY : HUSAM TARAWNEH Tobacco control is a term that is often used to describe how governmental and powerful institutions provided means to combat an epidemic; an epidemic that the youth take a huge role in spreading. In this article I'll shed light on how some society’s youth advocated towards a tobacco-free Jordan, and how tobacco control advocates provided the means of support to the youth of our country. The Spark The year is 2013, where a medical student passionate about public health had met with a respectable organisation that combats the tobacco industry. A project was set and allowed medical students in Jordan to take part in making sure our schools were a smoke-free area. This project not only provided the opportunity to fight the tobacco industry targeting the youth, but was also the spark that started the force of a long and challenging journey. Celebrating Tobacco
SIVE
Since 2013, two years had passed with that project, where it was constantly enlarging to overcome the epidemic of tobacco usage. In 2015, that project’s members were honoured in a ceremony which again motivated the medical students to pursue something bigger. Something not only limited to ensuring tobacco-free zones, but to start reaching out to community members themselves. This lead medical students from all parts of the Kingdom to be united in spreading awareness among their local communities.
38
Youth as a Tool After being active participants in fighting the tobacco epidemic, medical students were becoming more involved with other organizations that fought tobacco. Medical students were participating and organising conferences and training sessions, which provided a workforce to organisations in fighting this epidemic. Since then, and for about six years of countless tobacco-control initiatives, it was clear that the youth was a great tool to organizations in reaching their goals in fighting the tobacco industry.
Advocacy: Is It Possible?In the year of 2018, medical students decided that it's time for the youth to not only be a tool, but a decision maker in policies and strategies that fight the epidemic. What was once a small project rippled into larger ones, and over the span of seven years, it shaped the culture and essence of tobacco control among the Jordanian youth. Those medical students started taking part in high level meetings, drafting policies and strategies and becoming a cornerstone in providing the workforce to organisations that shared the goal of Jordan becoming tobacco free. Tobacco control had provided those medical students with powerful tools and partners that not only acted as tools SIVE of advocacy, but enabled them as decision makers. Think Global, Act Local This journey was not an easy one, as it gets more challenging day by day. The tobacco industry has a lot of new methods to reach our community. We must unite and collaborate more than ever to overcome this disease. It's time for us to look away from who we represent locally, regionally, and internationally to continue our fight against the tobacco industry. It's time to think global, and act local.

THE BITTER WHITE, THE GRAY SIDE BY : LUJAIN ABDALLAH SUBHI BANI SAKHER After a busy day of lectures, you want to take a rest, carrying your lectures’ notebook and heading towards the desk … Stop! you forgot an important thing. Is it a cup of coffee (or do you prefer tea)? An energy drink? Or maybe a glass of cola in this weather. To be more obvious, it's a dose of ‘caffeine’. This bitter, white substance is “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” by the US Food and Drug Administration. Let’s say it's grey, between the white & the black. THE white SIDE
SIVE
In Japan, researchers have shown that caffeine increases memory. A newer study carried out by Johns Hopkins University showed that a 200mg caffeine pill helps boost memory consolidation; effect on cognitive processes was observed by performing numerous cognitive tasks. Caffeine also prevents us from memory diseases of old age, like dementia and Alzheimer’s. Caffeine improves reaction time and logical reasoning when sleep isn’t possible or restricted. Moreover, it relieves pain associated with sleep loss better than analgesics. Furthermore, it prevents migraines, eases breathing for asthma patients, and reduces the risk of kidney stones. People who drink caffeinated beverages have an increased level of dopamine – known as the mood enhancer - in their bodies, which prevents depression and Parkinson’s disease. Scientists also deduced that caffeine is a fierce combatant of many common types of cancer: skin, liver, uterus, and colon.
40
THE bitter, black SIDE Caffeinism and death... It said that ‘a cup of coffee was the killer of Balzac/writer’. Caffeine affects the cardiovascular system greatly; it increases the risk of heart attacks among young adults, causes a quickened heartbeat, and raises blood pressure to high levels.Caffeine is also linked to different diseases like gout attacks and allergies, and a study conducted by the American Diabetes Association showed that caffeine impaired glucose metabolism in those with type 2 diabetes. Caffeine consumption can also lead to increased anxiety and the need for anxiety medication.
THE Grey SIDE Caffeine isn’t as unhealthy as it was once believed; therefore, it is safe to consider your daily cup of coffee or tea as an enjoyable way to promote good health, but remember: SIVE even if you have a lot of work, don't drink more than 4 cups of caffeinated beverages a day.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AND OUR DIET BY : HUSSAM TASHTASHTOUSH Cardiovascular diseases, CVD for short, is an umbrella term used to describe conditions that affect either the heart or blood vessels, which usually lead to a higher risk of developing blood clots. Atherosclerosis (a buildup of fat within the arteries) is a common cause. The WHO estimates 17.9 million people died from CVD in 2016 alone, representing 31% of all global deaths. 85% of CVD-related deaths occurred in the form of a heart attack or stroke. As such, it is imperative that early detection and proper management (using counselling and medications) are used appropriately for patients who already have CVD or at risk for developing them. Risk factors include – but are not limited to – having hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or other established diseases such as diabetes.
SIVE Atherosclerosis When plaques – comprising cholesterol, calcium, and other substances from the blood – build up in the arteries, this is called atherosclerosis. With time, these plaques will harden. Plaques narrow arteries, which limits the flow of oxygenated blood to dependent organs. After that the intestinal cells absorb the fat; enterocytes absorb lipoprotein (chylomicron) that transports fat to the lymph system and to the thoracic duct and are then conveyed to the left subclavian vein where they enter the blood. An increase in fat levels in the blood leads to increase in obesity, particularly abdominal (truncal) obesity, which leads to a high risk of coronary artery diseases (atherosclerosis of the arteries that supply blood to the heart). Abdominal obesity increases the risk factors for atherosclerosis: high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol levels.
42
How to protect ourselves from atherosclerosis? Our diets and lifestyle contribute massively in such conditions, so we can make our lifestyles healthier and protect ourselves by: 1- Exercising daily: exercise stimulates blood flow, in addition to decreasing the percentage of bad cholesterol in our bodies, thus it prevents the accumulation of fat in the arteries and reduces the chance of developing atherosclerosis. 2- Say NO to smoking: Smoking stimulates the emergence of fatty plaques inside the arteries, thus the development of atherosclerosis disease. 3- Healthy nutrition: By following a diet that contains abundant amounts of vegetables and fruits and a small amount of harmful fats while eating beneficial fats such as those found in nuts and eggs.
Fat is an essential part of the diet. The notion that eating less fat is important to a SIVE
healthy diet is only partly true because the type of fat also matters. The main types of fats are saturated and unsaturated fats; saturated and trans-fats are more likely to cause atherosclerosis. Your diet and your lifestyle and all of the activities you do play an important role to keep you healthier, so save yourself by fixing them!

TO A BETTER CHILDHOOD BY : MUHAMMAD DARAWSHEH Before I start let me ask these few questions: Why do people behave the way they do? Why do criminals tend to commit crimes? One may well ask, were they born cruel? Without thinking, I answer no, as they absolutely were not. No one was born cruel. We were born with clear white and blue hearts, but some issues during someone's childhood may affect their whole life subconsciously. Here are some examples of issues children face that may affect their way of thinking and behavior.
Bullying. Running a quick Google search on bullying – which is the use of force or threats to abuse in an aggressive way, or using technology in cyberbullying – yields a recent study showing that almost one out of every four students faces bullying during their school years, which is about 25% of students. Negative words. Believe me, there is something called word SIVE power; words have a strong effect, especially during childhood, so please be careful and mindful of what you say. Hate speech. A common example that all of us know is racism. Let me ask just two questions here: was it your choice to be white or black? Was it my choice to be from this family or that? Sexual assault. Rape and unwanted touching have been linked to many of the adult world’s disturbed minds today. Many of today’s criminals are the victims of their past, and are unable to break the cycle and end up breaking the law. There are still so many other psychological and physical factors that can stem from family conditions and change a child's future, such as domestic violence (be it physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual), parents’ divorce, or being an orphan. To conclude, I would say don't judge people, but evaluate; no one knows the circumstances that others face daily, and you don't know what hardships they've been through.

AWARENESS FOR WELLNESS BY : AMRO AL-OMARI
Today, social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have become phenomena that make it easier than ever to connect with your relatives and friends. In studies conducted in 2017 on the prevalence of social media all over the world, it is estimated that the number of users reached 3 billion1. Considering these results, social media, which is a relatively new method of communication, raises questions on how it affects families, relationships, individuals, and children mentally, physically, and socially. But can social media still have positive sides while constantly baring its negative sides? I think we should ask the question. Otherwise, shouldn't social media used by such a large mass of the world population be banned by all countries of the world? Social media affects the lives of individuals and societies in both positive and negative ways, and many of these effects are reflected in the mental health of the human being and on the lifestyles and traditions of society. I cannot deny the role that social media and artificial intelligence play in facilitating our lives and making them more comfortable, by facilitating communication with those near and far, and accomplishing in moments many tasks that traditionally need a lot of time. For how long, however, can we sustain this? Is the mental stress truly worth all these troubles, because the picture we posted didn't get many likes and comments? Since we mentioned facilitating communication between near and far, let me share with you a small example that explains what communication on social media looks like. Imagine that a room is divided into two by a glass partition SIVE in the middle that shows very little on both sides, and behind this glass, there is someone you know or do not know. Someone whose face you cannot see, whose voice you cannot hear, and whose hand you cannot touch. Imagine transmitting notes to each other through the hole in the bottom of the glass, showing him your favorite photo album. You can leave the room whenever you want, and he can. Even if you get angry, you cannot touch, shout, or even see hand-arm movements. However, he can convey his feelings to you with a note. Maybe with the sad face, he drew on paper :( Social media offers individuals the opportunity to express themselves as they wish. Individuals can share content such as photos and videos about themselves. These posts turn into a habit over time. Day by day, the number of individuals that reveal more and more of what is happening in their lives with the posts they have made increases. At the same time, individuals who follow the lives of others on social media compare it with their own lives, and after a while, feel unhappy about anything they do not have or cannot do. For example, a person who cannot go on vacation may be unhappy when he sees his friend taking a photo on vacation. Most social media users are young adults and teenagers who have a strong desire to be the focus of attention in society, so instead of seeking to satisfy these desires in real life, they resort to social media for easy fulfillment of these desires in the virtual world. But what if s/he does not succeed in satisfying these desires both in virtual and real life? The answer is simple. This will affect their mental health negatively, and failure will haunt them and convince them that they are not successful in any field. Therefore, I can say without any hesitation that social media is one of the factors that control a person's happiness and sadness at the present time.
49
We also face in our society the problem of a lack of privacy in social media. So many people take pictures and publish them on social media without asking themselves, “Is it appropriate for me to do this or not? Is it within the ethical requirements of our society or not?” Unfortunately, lack of self-confidence and trying to win the admiration of certain people will not allow you to ask yourself these questions. Depending on the use of social media, the decrease in communication within the family, the inability to fulfill their responsibilities, and sleep disturbances cause social isolation in the individual. As a result, as time spent on the internet and social media increases, individuals become lonelier, tend to become more selfish, and may be dragged into depression. Keeping the use of social media within certain limits in daily life will reduce the potential risks. Measures that can be taken against the effects of depression, isolation, and addiction to social media can be listed as follows: •Prepare a weekly schedule for social media usage. •Make changes in the periods spent on social media during the day. •Set daily limits for the social media platform where most of your time is spent. •Identify and commit to different activities that can be done outside of social media.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND MENTAL HEALTH: THE UGLY TRUTH BY : NOUR AWAMLEH
Do you ever scroll your phone for hours switching from one social media application to another just to end up feeling lonely, empty, and worthless? Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and criticize every detail about yourself for not fitting the “beauty standards” online? We all fall into moments where we feel trapped and chained by all the standards we have seen on various social media platforms. At some point, we feel addicted, devastated, and burnt out. Sometimes, we feel like we are stuck in a time warp where life is passing us by, people are changing, and yet we are not. We seek validation and acceptance by the number of likes, compliments, and attention we get online. After hours on social media, we open our deceived eyes into the reality of our SIVE life only to feel trapped and ungrateful for what we have. All these feelings consume us and drive us to the edge. The core of the problem lies in the fact that we think we are the only ones suffering when, in fact, it is all of us! We are all playing a role in this fake play in which we show the highlights of our day, best selfies, edited pictures, and then, ironically, fall into the same trap of deception. Social media has many aspects in which it has proven to harm the mental health of mostly teenagers and young adolescents. This can be seen through many phenomena triggered by these platforms, such as FOMO. FOMO (fear of missing out) is used to describe the anxiety users experience about missing out on events, which can exacerbate when someone sees posts and stories of social events they were not invited to or unable to attend. Another negative aspect is how social media is filled with body shaming, negative images on health, and much more. All of these have led to an increase in users’ shame, judgment of themselves and their bodies (known as body surveillance), and mental illnesses and eating disorders.
51
One of the biggest negative consequences is the way social media has shaped body image to certain “perfect� standards and has carved them into the minds of the youth where teens have developed eating disorders and mental illnesses. In addition, cyberbullying is an unprecedented phenomenon with an additive effect in which hurtful comments can always remain online, have no supervision, and anyone from the world can write them. Consequently, one effect is an increase in the rate of suicide attempts that have, unfortunately, not always ended with a new chance at life. According to one study, 72% of teens say that they have been cyberbullied at some point in their lives. Furthermore, another study, done by researchers at Stanford University and NYU, showed that people who deactivated their Facebook account for a month experienced lower depression and anxiety, along with an increase in happiness and life satisfaction. Social media unequivocally has its ups and downs. In a modern society where technology is growing, there is no choice but to improve the negative aspects of social SIVE media. This can be possible only through a revolutionary change by all companies and their users. Unfortunately, such change seems to be far ahead in the future, but for now one must protect themselves against the consequences of such platforms. This can be done by educating yourself, having self-awareness, filtering the content on your feed, muting accounts and phrases that impact you negatively, and controlling your time online. The essence of remaining sane in the fast pace we live in is to acknowledge your existence and importance. You are important, worthy, and unique. Build your self-confidence and determination to leave a positive impact on yourself and those around you. Make the conscious choice to help and protect yourself from the chains of social media. After all, the true meaning of life lies in our choices and independence. Find your reality in a world filled with deception.

DOES SOCIAL MEDIA THREATEN OUR MENTAL HEALTH? BY : YASMEEN JAMAL AL-ABDALLAT
Human beings are social creatures that require the companionship of others to make progress in life. Thus, being socially connected with other people can relieve stress, anxiety, and sadness, but a lack of social connection can pose serious risks to mental health. Never before in human history has it been possible to communicate so quickly during a pandemic; social media platforms have been a key piece for the dissemination of information. However, social media platforms are also responsible for aggravating mental health problems. Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which people understand their SIVE abilities, solve everyday life problems, work well, and make a significant contribution to the lives in their communities [1]. Social media has recently become part of people's daily activities; many of them spend hours each day on Messenger, Instagram, Facebook, and other popular social media platforms. An observational study showed that spending more than a few hours per week using electronic media correlated negatively with self-reported happiness, life satisfaction, and self-esteem, whereas time spent on non-screen activities (in-person social interactions, sports or exercise, print media, homework, religious services, working at a paid job) correlated positively with psychological well-being, among adolescents [2]. Other observational studies have linked spending more than 2 hours a day on social networking sites and personal electronic devices with high rates of suicidality and depressive symptoms among adolescent girls, although youth who sustained high levels of face-to-face socializing were relatively protected against the negative consequences of too much time online [3][4].

Frankly, the worst face of social media is the potential to disseminate erroneous, alarmist, and exaggerated information that can cause fear, stress, depression, and anxiety in people with or without underlying psychiatric illnesses. On the other hand, the responsible use of these tools can help – especially during a pandemic, for example – to quickly spread new important information; sharing diagnostic, treatment, and follow-up protocols; comparing different approaches from other parts of the world to adapt them to our settings; improve availability of SIVE resources; and to continue our education from our comfortable and safe homes. To conclude, social media is here to stay and is increasingly being used by children , young people, and adults alike. It has many positive and enjoyable benefits, but it can also lead to mental health problems. What determines whether these tools are good or bad is your level of awareness and discipline during use.

SOCIAL MEDIA: MENTALLY BY : ZEINA MIQDADI
Whenever you glimpse the words “social media” you probably say to yourself “it’s this magical technological advancement that has helped us in many ways and has taken up many roles, from being a flying carpet that allows us to see the world, to being a beyond lightning-fast messenger that unites loved ones, to being a distraction from the pain and sufferings this world has to offer”. But the truth is it’s a mask-wearing actor, a criminal bearing gifts, and it has enabled various negative behaviors and results like bullying, family disruption, and cultural colonization. Here’s a thought: go to Google and type “social media and”. The top result is “social media and mental health”, among many other search results regarding depression, anxiety, body image, and self-esteem, and that in my point of view is scary and dangerous. Whilst social media hasn’t technically been proven to cause a specific psychological disorder, it can surely worsen a pre-existing one or trigger it. Regarding body image, what social media does is that it presents us with these perfect ideals for women SIVE and men, and creates this mentality in youngsters’ minds that they need to obtain these unrealistic body measurements. Oftentimes, some “influencers” would use certain apps and tricks to look like porcelain dolls fooling us; because there is so much pressure online to look perfect. For example, a study conducted by a healthcare institution in Florida uncovered that 87% of women and 65% of men compare their bodies to the images they see on social media(1). In one study, girls who were more emotionally invested in technology reported greater eating disorder symptomatology than girls who were less invested in technology(2).
55
Now imagine constantly comparing yourself to that beautiful friend of yours, who is presumably popular because s/he gets way more likes and comments than you get; you will surely feel intimidated and self-conscious about the way you look and you will desperately seek validation from others, but I think that the key concept we need to teach our adolescents is, “to compare is to despair”. If we plant the seed of self-love and confidence at a young age they are going to be less likely to compare themselves to others in any way, shape or form. In addition, toxicity can present itself in various forms on social media, adding strain on our mental health. For example, I personally avoid all university groups when we have exams because they make me more anxious, thus triggering panic attacks. I also think social media can affect people differently, but surely everyone is bound to feel pressured and get negative vibes from it at some point. I believe we need to focus more on our mental health and put it as a priority regardless of the stigma and shame that society associates with it. We should supervise our kids’ use of social media because they could be getting bullied online without our knowledge. We need to normalize taking breaks from social media to unwind and get better mentally. In addition, we need to spread awareness between us and remind SIVE ourselves of the main goal of social media which is communication and the expression of our thoughts freely and deliberately. All in all, social media is a double-edged sword, and there’s already so much pain and pressure in the real world that we run to social media to feel safe. So let’s keep it supportive, loving, and safe in our virtual world and let everyone feel welcomed and loved regardless of their race, color, weight, or looks before we drown in our own toxicity or it swallows our mentality whole.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THE JORDANIAN PENAL CODE BY : SHAHAD IQNEIBI
Domestic violence by definition is violence that happens in a household. While we typically associate it with the abuse of a woman by her husband, the meaning of this term is broader than that; it encompasses the abuse of a father against his kids, a brother against his sister, and so on. There are currently no definite statistics in Jordan on just how many women experience or have experienced any form of domestic abuse; however, the stories that we hear on a day-to-day basis either from family and friends or on the news is proof that domestic violence is something that definitely exists in our society. The horrific stories where we hear about how the victim was harmed not only deeply sadden us, but also sometimes leave us shocked and angry SIVE when we know about the repercussions or lack thereof that the abuser receives. So, why do certain crimes receive more lenient sentences than others? On what basis does a man who severely disables, kills, or harms his wife, daughter, or sister get to walk freely with near to no punishment? The existence of certain articles in the Jordanian Penal Code is, in my opinion, one of the biggest obstacles our society faces when it comes to eradicating domestic violence. There are several provisions in the Penal Code that are full of injustice. Firstly, there is Article 98, which entitles a perpetrator to a reduction in his sentence if the crime he committed was done in a “state of fury”. What this means is that if the preparator claims that the crime he committed was due to the victim engaging in dishonorable behavior that infuriated him enough to commit the crime, then he benefits from this law, and no evidence of the act is required. An example of this was a case in 2002 when a man killed his sister after seeing her “talking to a strange man during a wedding party” and received a reduced sentence based on this Article.
58
Another instance was a case in 2001, when a brother shot his sister 7 times the day after finding out she had an affair and was pregnant. The court’s view on this crime was as follows: “Although there were approximately 24 hours between the time the defendant learnt of his sister’s illegitimate pregnancy and killed her, his soul was not at peace […] The irritated soul does not know calm thinking. Therefore, he should benefit from a reduction in penalty as stipulated in Article 98 of the Jordanian Penal Code.” Furthermore, in 2003, a man murdered his divorced sister for being absent from the house for one week, yet abiding by Article 98, this man was only sentenced to 6 months in prison. Another article that supports this unacceptable abuse is Article 340, which states that any man who kills or harms his wife or female relative for adultery benefits from the application of mitigating factors in court. This means that the court has the power to significantly reduce his sentence. SIVE Additionally, there is a huge discrepancy and unfairness in Articles 282 and 283; the former states that if the woman was accused of adultery, she receives 6 months to 2 years in prison, and the latter states that a man who commits the same crime gets 1 month to 1 year in prison. Articles 292 and 293 state that men who commit rape shall be merely sentenced to a few years of temporary hard labor without prison sentences. Article 305 states that the maximum sentencing period for someone who engages in non-consensual sexual behavior is 1 year. In addition to that, not only are so many articles of the law not in favor of the victimized woman, but many solutions are not been in her favor either. A failed attempt to protect women who get threatened, abused, and accused of acts of violations of honor is to place them under protective custody in prisons or correctional facilities for as long as 3 years, essentially imprisoning them so that they do not get murdered for dishonoring the family. This is referred to as administrative detention.
59
On the other side, it is not all bleak, for there have been many international efforts to combat these problems, such as the Convention of Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which is a committee that Jordan reports to periodically and receives recommendations from. On a national scale, the Law Regarding Protection from Domestic Violence (Law No.6) in 2008 was instated. Moreover, certain steps in the right direction have already ensued, and amendments were made over the years. For instance, in 2017 Article 308 that previously allowed sexual assault perpetrators to escape punishment by marrying the victim was eliminated.
Nonetheless, there is plenty of room for improvement, starting with more effective protective measures for the women who are threatened or have been harmed and SIVE are seeking help. Proper measures to protect and aid them should be taken, such as providing them with shelter (that is not in prisons) and financial support. There should also be fair punishments against the abusers, and brushing off heinous crimes as a defense of “honor� should no longer be an option. Laws should no longer stand with this abuse, for the existence of these laws almost encourages the act of honor killing, and that kind of mindset should definitely become extinct by now.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN JORDAN BY : MUTAZ BELBESI
Jordan is a country that, unfortunately, sports a patriarchal society that centers around males, who are often viewed as the more superior, dominant, in-control and influential gender. As a result, women are never the topic of discussion. Whenever a female tries to express her opinions or fight for what she believes in, it is often received with criticism, backlash, and being told to keep silent, leaving her voice to remain unheard. Feminists are unfairly accused of radical ideologies and are constantly attacked by society. Violence against women is rarely talked about in our society; many people view it as a taboo subject, some view it as the norm, while others acknowledge its existence but SIVE choose to simply ignore it, possibly out of fear of tainting the family’s reputation. There are people that try to face this problem and tackle it; however, they are up against a legal system that frequently undermines the rights of women and reinforces the patriarchal status quo, with law makers viewing violence against woman as a secondary issue, claiming there are more important problems to be dealt with. Abuse is often hidden in families and sadly, in some rural areas, is viewed as very normal; these women are objectified and viewed like maids that should only cook, take care of the kids and the house. When they disagree, they are beaten, then it gets swept under the rug and they act like nothing happened. Over the last few years, Jordan has seen minor improvements regarding women’s rights. There come short periods of time where the topic is heavily debated, but with no outcome, then gets forgotten, and the cycle repeats itself. Regardless, it is worth noting that people are trying.
61
In 2016, a group of activists sought out legislative change and succeeded; King Abdullah II ordered an amendment to the law that used to allow rapists to avoid prosecution and trial if they married their victims. Moreover, the seats allocated to females in the parliament are at an all-time high. However, only a handful of the female parliamentarians are willing to take on the subject of women’s rights and those that do often receive backlash from the males, in the male-dominated house.
This topic gets slept on, time and time again. Recently, an extremely unfortunate and tragic incident took place. A 25-year-old mother of three had her eyes gouged out, and this barbaric act was done by her husband, over a domestic dispute. It received huge media coverage. People were furious, they finally had enough, and for the first time in 3 years they took matters into their own hands; activists of all ages, races and sexes began protesting in front of the parliament, enraged, holding signs demanding better SIVE legal and social security for women. The protests woke up the kingdom again and raised awareness on the issue. The number of Jordanians refusing to accept the sexist status quo and choosing to change it are on the rise. My final note is – and excuse me if my opinion might be seen as biased or extreme – I genuinely look forward to and hope to see a change in people’s ideologies, and more protests supporting women’s rights, but – like many other barriers against Jordanian women we face – this is one of the many topics that our society will have to fight for.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BY : BANN KHRAISAT November 6th, 2019.
We have been arguing for the past hour now. I couldn’t hold back in the tears anymore. I couldn’t let the kids see me like this, so I took them inside, calmed them down, kissed them on their foreheads, and told them everything is going to be alright. I went back to my heart’s battlefield to finally set things straight. I didn’t even get a chance to say my side and have my piece before your pulsating temper took charge. Your body weighing me down as I watched you grab a knife and point it straight at me. I screamed and pushed the knife right out of your heinous hands, but that wasn’t SIVE enough to stop you. What you did next took me by surprise. Your cold hands found their way to my eyes. Your fingers piercing their way through my eye sockets. Blood was gushing all over and I couldn’t help but scream my lungs out. Suddenly… My whole world went black. What I once called the apple of my eye took my eyes. And right then and there, it hit me. You took my eyes, but you didn’t take my voice. You took my eyes, but you didn’t take my rights. You took my eyes, but you didn’t take my freedom. You turned my world black and I won’t rest until yours turns pitch black. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN! BY : LAYAN BDEIR Another story. Another fall of a weak yet relentless woman. It is becoming a trend in this country. Violence against our women. What has become of us? Why does everyone think lowly of these hardworking, painstakingly beautiful human beings? A great housewife has been targeted by her husband and severely impaired, taking both her eyes out in front of her own 3 children for no reason at all.
For all we know, the purposes of this whole phenomenon of abusing women has come from the same grounds. CULTURE!! They might say “no woman should disobey her husband,” or “a woman is nothing without a husband,” or other phrases commonly SIVE bounced around and easily rolling off people’s tongues. All this has given men the upper hand, by perpetuating thoughts that they have been granted limitless sovereignty and therefore permission to abuse females. I must say it is untrue, for there are many things a woman can do without a man. She can raise her kids on her own, find work on her own, and grow to become wealthy and independent. As Michelle Obama says, “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.” We should stop this fallacious tradition and stand for the sake of women. We should have a voice and unite to avenge those who have been victims. We should stand for equality to live fairly in this world.

TRYING TO BREAK FREE BY : SADEEN ZEIN EDDIN
Each individual exists as a distinct entity, be it a male or female. So, if I were to remind you that a woman is her own self, her own actions, and her own decisions, you wouldn’t be surprised as I’m be stating the obvious, because it’s what we’ve always known as the rule; the rule of God and the rule of nature. Yet, in several places around us, women aren’t free to live by that rule. In an unfortunate number of homes all over the country, girls are born at a disadvantage. “You’re not enough”, or “You’ll always need help”, or “You can’t, because you’re a girl” are some of the words that linger in every aspect of a woman’s life. A little girl can be brought up in the most nurturing of environments but there will always be SIVE some form of limitation and constriction put on her, some are spoken whilst others are not. We can see it all around us, like in how a woman can become completely dependent on her husband. This isn’t necessarily a negative issue, but the concern resides in the fact that a woman can be extremely dependent to an extent that no matter what problems arise between her and her husband, and no matter how ugly they might become, leaving him can never be a solution to such problems. It can reach to a point where she’ll be treated very poorly, becoming a victim of physical, sexual, mental, or emotional abuse, but can still never gather the courage to forgo what she has established with her abuser, including her house, social status, and financial income. This is all because both the woman and the society she lives in don’t believe that she can maintain a much better life on her own.
68
To them, independence is an unrealistic modern trend, and that a woman who chooses to leave her toxic household to a safer environment will become a burden on her family and brothers, ultimately leading to her trying her hardest to avoid that situation. In consequence, abused or not, treated well or not, it all doesn’t matter in the minds of so many people, a woman should just endure it and be thankful she isn’t going through “worse”.
Eventually, as a result of these ideologies in our culture, violence against women has become pervasive, and now, through social media and various other platforms, the hidden signs of abuse are becoming more apparent to us. We can never fully understand the cause of domestic violence, and we can’t change our society in a matter of days. Nonetheless, it is our full-fledged duty to try and prevent this suppression of women by all means of support and prevention; it is truly the least we SIVE can do.

SHINING THE LIGHT ON OUR ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS BY : MYASSAR AL-ZOUBI
In my opening message “We Are Still Standing”, I mentioned the many ways medical students kept themselves mentally afloat during this year’s trying times. Many of the coping mechanisms involved creative outlets; some students revisited their love for poetry or drawing, while others entered the world of baking and experimenting with ingredients. However, some took their creativity not just a step further, but a whole leap forward into the life of entrepreneurship! Some daring entrepreneurial spirits found an opportunity in turning to social media and utilizing its platform to share their creativity with the world, showing us that life goes on and giving the rest of us the hope needed to keep us afloat. Coincidentally, all of them were women. As SCORA’s General Assistant and UJ-LC’s LORA for the term 2019-2020, I not only thought this is a golden chance to share with you what our colleagues have been up to, but also SIVE found it imperative to remind you that women are capable of building our community, and have been doing so for years. Knowing the intricacies and challenges of embarking on such an initiative, I would like to use my ability to speak up to acknowledge and thank the hard work of our young peers, and promote others who helped facilitate our lives by offering services and products meant to help us through these circumstances. I may not know of everyone in this vast body of medical students who started a business since March’s lockdown, but I can guarantee that after over a month of actively researching, networking, asking, and following, I have mentioned every person I found. Here in SCORA, we are always proud of milestones reached and achievements made by and for women, and encourage and celebrate their successes. My hope is that this article does justice in commemorating them. Let this compilation of young women beating the odds inspire you. Support local!

Let’s start with our sweet-tooth cravings that hit their hardest during this period. You may fear ordering treats from larger chains under current conditions, but your children at home will not take to that too kindly. Have no fear, our future doctors care about all aspects of your life, not just health and safety! We care you live happily too, and we know that food is so culturally important in Jordan, as it signifies togetherness and happiness; it is sharing family stories around the dinner table, it is grandma’s love, and it is a wave of familiarity and nostalgia for those who return home. So don’t worry, be sure to order two days in advance and your family will definitely smile with the bundle of flavors they’ll be surprised with, delivered right to your doorstep!
The Med Baker @the.medbaker ”Baking and doctoring” Do you like cakes, cookies, and brownies? Look no further, The Med Baker is here! It’s founded and run by Ms. Farah Al-Sayed, a previous LPO at UJ-LC with amazing achievements under her belt that speak volumes about her passion and dedication not only to the cause, but also to volunteering, bettering the community, improving the lives and skills of medical students and much more. With such a desire to impact others and make a change, she turned to trying to uplift the friends SIVE around her during the tougher times of the year, and that’s how her story with The Med Baker blossomed. What started as stories delighting her viewers with playful designs of her cakes, bloomed into a business from home where people could relish such delights themselves. Various birthdays and graduates had this lovely lifeline to rely on to make their days and gather family round the table when they had to forego parties.

Browse her pictures of the richest brownies, cookies, and her assortment of cheesecakes (boasting the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake for the chocolate lovers at home) before placing your order! Perhaps the essence of The Med Baker can be summarized in this review a very happy customer once posted: “ We ordered a semi-naked vanilla cake with blueberry filling from The Med Baker for a birthday party and we are very happy customers! They were very kind, courteous, cordial, and careful during delivery, and when we opened the box at home to reveal the cake, everyone wowed at how pretty it looked! And it's just as yummy as it looks! Thanks so much, it was a hit! ” CrustByD @crustbyd “Crusts made with Love and Passion” Not a cake person? That’s okay! CrustByD’s got you covered if you’re more of a fruits fan! Founded by Ms. Dua Alhusni, leader of the great project Make a Turn to Germany that helped guide so many students to find their way and an avid SCORA member who was an OC on the team that brought to you the first ever SCORA X-Change hosted in Jordan! After years of people complimenting and swearing by her skills, Ms. Alhusni decided to devote her passion to cooking, baking, and experimenting with new flavors into this new business of hers. Set up within a week, she had customers clamoring around her for a taste of some sweet, sweet banana pudding. It’s her signature treat! Have you never tried her banana pudding? If you don’t want to order 2 days in advance and wait, you can always head on over and beat the crowds for the limited amounts available at Meraki Business and Study Lounge. Your taste buds will thank you! These are not the only scrumptious items on her menu that have people swearing their loyalty to her; there are also fruit pies, truffles, and various tarts available in different sizes that you will regret not tasting, only because you won’t be able to find her unique, self-made recipes anywhere else! Don’t believe me? Just ask this elated customer begging us all to bless our tastebuds. He is so ecstatic! “ I am a person who loves tarts and banana puddings. Finding this business was therefore a heaven to me. I tried them of course, and LOVED it!! So I ordered from them again for my sister's sweet 16th birthday party and I have to say IT WAS THE BEST PART. Dua put SO much care and effort into packaging them and EVERYONE loved them! They looked so colorful and presentable and were perfect for the singing and photos

I have never tasted such a delicious tart and banana pudding in this country since moving here almost a decade ago!! After many years of searching, I can finally say my search is over! Other places either make them too sweet, or choose unripe/frozen fruits that are sour. Bigger franchises also tend to not be consistent in the flavors and freshness presented. But Dua has honestly perfected her recipes. Thank you so much! We are very happy customers and we will DEFINITELY order again! ”

JUST-LC RECAP BY : HANEEN LATAIFEH
From the beginning of March, we were all shocked by our new reality, and most of our progress with IFMSA work was put to a halt while the whole world fought a frightening pandemic. However, our spirits never withered away; we decided to make use of the time in our hands, in order to stay connected with JUST LC’S members, even if it were from the space of their own homes. Firstly, we made sure to continue our unfinished projects and conduct any new ones through Facebook event pages and online Zoom sessions. SCOPH was the first to be involved by creating ‘Eye On Corona’, an online project that was created in the beginning of the outbreak with the aim of helping people gain the necessary knowledge about the virus and the preventative measures needed to protect us from SIVE it. Moving on to the other standing committees, SCOME hosted its famous ‘Boarding Sessions’ project through Zoom sessions over the course of multiple days, where over 683 students attended and got to learn about the requirements needed to specialize abroad from different doctors all around the world! A SCOME/SCORA joint project called ‘Feminism Debate’ was also done in order to train medical students how to properly understand and debate a very important issue our society faces nowadays: feminism and women’s rights. SCORA also completed 3 online projects, the first being ‘More You, Less Moo’; which was awareness-oriented. It discussed the importance of breastfeeding and the many benefits it provides on the mother and child. The second project was called ‘Fight, Believe, Hope’; another awareness project discussing the risk factors, signs, and symptoms of reproductive cancers. The third project was called ‘COVID 19 & SRHR’; which discussed the effects of the coronavirus on the numbers of domestic violence cases, in addition to whether it had any influence on breastfeeding, and fertility in both males and females.
88
SCORE has also successfully completed an online training project called ‘Skill Up to Success!’ where certified trainers equipped medical students with essential soft skills and leadership skills. We also made sure to entertain our members through SCOPE’s online ‘Chess Tournament’; in which our members put their competitive skills to the test in an exciting game of chess! When the number of cases went down significantly in Jordan, and we were able to host small activities in accordance with the government’s COVID-19 guidelines, two awareness steps were completed in King Abdullah II Gardens in Irbid for SCOME’s ‘Mindcology’; a project with the aim of giving an overview of modern psychotherapy and how it can help treat common psychological disorders our society suffers from. Additionally, we held a joint SCOME/SCORP project called ‘People of Determination’, which was created to provide education on how to correctly interact and handle disabled individuals, as well as clearing any misconceptions about disabilities in general. We didn’t stop there, and made sure to give our members a breath of fresh air (in a safe environment of course) by joining our adrenaline-filled SCOPE ‘JUST LC Hiking Trip’. It took place in Al Salayta (Aya) valley, in the beautiful Madaba governorate; where the SIVE members enjoyed walking between the fascinating rocks, and rappelling from 10 meters high, all with the supervision of hiking experts! Not only that, but a ‘JUST LC Football League’ was made for our sports fanatics in King Abdullah II Gardens, and our members enjoyed their time whilst also competing for several prizes! Thankfully, we were also able to tick some new achievements off our list regarding JUST LC’s publications! Our first ever research magazine ‘Heroes of Medicine’ released its first issue ‘Interventional Radiology’; in which our members had the chance to write articles focusing on interventional radiology’s history, special cases, leading role models, its significance in Jordan, and much more! The second issue is currently being worked on, so be on the lookout for that! A ‘JUST LC End of Term Magazine’ also released its first issue for 2019/2020; highlighting our LC’s achievements in each Standing Committee, as well as giving the space for our members to describe their experience working with IFMSA-Jo! Finally, we made sure to receive feedback from our members after each completed project, to see what can be further improved, in order to continue delivering our purpose of growing our members’ general and awareness skills, and to help our society one step at a time!

UJ-LC RECAP BY : MYASSAR AL-ZOUBI
Starting from the moment the lockdown was suddenly announced and hastily enacted in March, we were thrust into a new reality where projects and plans were upended and paused seemingly indefinitely. However, this did not discourage our highly dedicated, hard-working members. Our members are devoted to serving our community with a passion, and refuse to wait until they become doctors to do so; we volunteer our time, effort, and sometimes money to save lives and better the lives of so many. The first thing that occurred was the launch of some activities our mindful members believed were vital to improve the quality of life of various population groups, such as SCOPH’s Sign Language and Hearing Loss Awareness campaign, and SCORP-SCORA’s Love in the Time of Corona. SCORP also launched their Gaza’s Gracious Givers fundraising campaign immediately SIVE in response to a cry for help from the refugees struggling to place food on the table, successfully raising enough funds within weeks to send packages to over 60 families filled with food supplies, love and care! SCORP accomplished this amazing feat during the strictest times of the lockdown thanks to their resourcefulness and ability to take full advantage of social media platforms and e-banking, and their capacity to empathize with the difficult economic burden the lockdown placed on so many of us. Secondly, our creative leaders moved any of their ongoing projects to online platforms to the best of their abilities, and utilized them to also focus on the pandemic in relevant manners. For example, our joint SCOPH-SCORA project Mind Battle, which was originally geared at raising awareness about mental health and disorders including those related to maternal health and fertility, was able to instantly shift gears and also offer relief for our stressed students at home via a national online chess tournament, and created infographics shared on the local Facebook page to offer tips on how to take care of your mental health during the lockdown. They also broke local records and collected over two thousand responses for a research study! Furthermore, when lockdown measures became more lenient and gatherings could be legally hosted,

they released an online survey about mental health, then invited the students to a workshop given by Dr. Ahmad Salem where he discussed the main original target topics of the project. SCORP also continued with their Keif Sehtak project, which adds more people monthly to their list of dependents who rely on donations to support their healthcare. Keif Sehtak has provided medications, ICU admissions, and much more to countless patients in need! SCOME completely blew us away during this time. Their Study Abroad activity guided almost 300 students from all LCs through residency options during these confusing times, and held three steps to discuss three separate destinations with real-life advice from doctors: the UK, USA, and Germany. These online meetings were held on Zoom, and the team ensured they were interactive and facilitated Q&A sessions as well. Their Medical Entrepreneurship project discussed investment and encouraged 110 participants from various LCs to do so. But perhaps the project that amazed us the most and left us awe-struck was their Life Savers project with over 25 steps, 15 of which were online sessions during the lockdown! In Life Savers, the 8 OCs first received a First Aid Instructors training session by the Jordan Paramedic Society and SIVE passed the exams to become certified trainers, before going on to train medical and high school students alike! When the lockdown happened, they moved their training sessions online, to end with a number just shy of 700 people in total from our society all over the Kingdom trained and prepared to help themselves and others in various situations! Furthermore, and in collaboration with JPS, they included 3 Infection Control sessions. We hope that with these efforts, we set a new bar for ourselves and brought about positive change for all of the lives that we touched. We hope these projects showed you the importance of lending a helping hand and extending support to those beyond your home, circle, LC, and region. We have faith in our members’ future endeavors and ideas!

HU-LC RECAP BY : LAYAN BDIER After a what seemed like an endless term, 2019-2020 has finally come to an end. With COVID-19 being a big part of it, our Local Committee had to convert to online projects and steps. Quarantine could not stop our powerful LC from committing and amazing us with all the ventures our standing committees had to offer. Our beloved HULC had a couple of projects that lead to great engagement from our delegates. Online meetings were conducted, such as “Plan Your Training” with SCOPE, where we met with graduates who continued their studies abroad and gave us advice and glimpses about what electives look like in Germany, Canada, UK, and the US.
We held online debates like “It’s Debatable” with SCOME, where we had an argument about SIVE “Should Vaccines be Mandatory” and small group medical discussions. “Through new lenses” with SCOME held a small training workshop by a trainer to explain all about X-Rays and ultrasounds. Many more remarkable steps have happened during this year which has left us feeling gratified and satisfied and have made HULC tear up with joy. We have truly reached THE MIGHT OF THE HASHEMITE.
