Yemeni women and Youth participate in and influence the peace and security processes in Yemen
The Track I level peace process is yet to resume in earnest, limiting women and youth's ability to influence at this level. But women and young are engaging significantly at the grassroots level, and this is where UN Women support is having catalytic effect. Two (2) local women mediators (UN Women partners) participated in UN-backed negotiations to support the truce, and this inclusion 1) signals a step in the right direction towards women's increased participation at the formal level and 2) underlines the importance of creating entry points at the local level while also promoting upwards links across the tracks. The government has not yet fully operationalized the current National Action Plan (NAP) for the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and is seeking broader engagement from civil society during this phase. Progress on the implementation of the NAP and the results achieved for the implementation of the Women Peace and Security Agenda in Yemen (particularly with regards to the protection and promotion of women and girls’ rights, and the meaningful participation of women and girls in the peacebuilding process and security sector) are due to be evaluated by a wide range of peace actors – including public institutions, women and youth-led civil society organizations and representatives of the international community - at the end of 2023. Recommendations by peace actors, national and international stakeholders for a revised or second NAP will likely include a call for greater involvement from women and youth groups during the drafting process.Disclaimer and notes
