On the week of International Women’s Day, Yemeni women, inside and outside Yemen, are demanding peace for Yemen. More than one hundred women inside and outside Yemen have drafted an open letter to the UN Envoy, endorsed by solidarity from women and civil society organisations from the MENA region and the world.
The letter is available in English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Turkish and Russian.
Read more about the current situation of women in Yemen, their participation in peace building, and the recommendations they have outlined to the newly appointed Special Envoy to Yemen through the YemenWomenVoice website.
