Yemeni stakeholders assess progress made in implementation of norms, policies and standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls
Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
ComplementaryYemeni stakeholders actively engage in and their perspective are included at regional and global intergovernmental processes on gender equality and women's empowerment including in Generation Equality Forum
In addition to results reported by UN Women field offices (shown here), results achieved in countries and territories through the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF) are included in a non-duplicative manner in the global reporting on this indicator (see the Our Global Results page).
Yemeni stakeholders assess progress made in implementation of norms, policies and standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls
Twenty-three (23) national stakeholders and partners from civil society, the government and the wider political arena, including across the political divide, collectively took stock of the situation in Yemen and the status of gender equality and women’s empowerment with a view to outline key priorities and areas of concern in terms of advancing the Gender Equality and Women Peace and Security Agendas and to identify effective ways in which links with the political representatives may help to achieve significant results. This assessment occurred during a series of UN Women-led consultations organized during the reporting period. At an institutional level, the Women's National Commission (WNC) in Aden (the government's gender machinery) undertook an analysis of its institutional needs and priorities and elaborated a Strategic Plan for 2023-2027. The Plan includes a comprehensive set of gender-responsive policies and actions and was developed in close consultation with government officials and stakeholders from civil society. UN Women provided technical support during the analytical and strategic planning process. Partisan women increased their political power through WNC's advocacy for gender-sensitive reforms within the parties and awareness-raising on women's capabilities. These efforts included the development of a database of women experts detailing the skills and experience of women leaders in various technical fields with a view to facilitate and increase their recruitment into ministerial structures.Disclaimer and notes
