22 November 2023: In a significant display of commitment and engagement, a number of NRM women leaders and members participated in the first Yemeni Women Consultation Meeting held in Amman from 19 to 21 November 2023.
The event, boasting a gathering of 33 Yemeni women comprising experts, academics, political figures, and civil society activists, was organized by the Office of the UN Special Envoy for Yemen (OSESGY) and UN Women.
The primary objective of the meeting was to collaboratively shape a Yemeni vision conducive to an inclusive peace process. Throughout the three-day session in Amman, participants delved into discussions on confidence-building measures, short- and long-term priorities, and strategies essential for their meaningful involvement in the political process and upcoming negotiations. The overarching goal was to ensure the integration of the women’s agenda into the forthcoming peace agreement. In addition, several other issues were discussed including fostering freedom of movement within Yemen and alleviating restrictions on rights of expression, assembly, and organisation.
