Learning Exchange: The Elimination of Landmines in Yemen
14 July , 2025 – 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Host: Young WILPF & WILPF Yemen
Open to: public
When? Monday, 14 July, 8:00 AM New York | 2:00 PM Geneva | 3:00 PM Aden (check your time zone)
What? Join us for a learning exchange to learn about the issues of landmines in Yemen and how civil society is responding through mine clearance and education projects.
This exchange will be an opportunity for us to hear from experts in Yemen about their context, but also to share strategies within our global movement. The Trump administration’s massive cuts to foreign aid (previously the world’s largest donor for mine action activities) and the recent withdrawal of several European countries from the landmark Mine Ban Treaty are major setbacks. Let’s come together as a global movement to exchange learnings and build strategies to counter this backsliding trend.
