From last week here is @saferworld 's statement of solidarity to our Yemeni partners https://www.saferworld.org.uk/resources/news-and-analysis/post/882-message-of-solidarity-to-our-yemeni-partners Yemeni civil society are on the front lines of building peace and addressing #COVIDー19. Putting them in the driving seat is vital #YemenCantWait #YemenCantBreathe
Yemeni organisations supported the distribution of masks and ran public health campaigns in the first weeks of the covid19 pandemic https://www.saferworld.org.uk/resources/news-and-analysis/post/867-covid-19-in-yemen-yemeni-organisations-on-the-frontline
Yemeni civil society have helped their communities reclaim public space from military barracks, discourage firing weapons at celebrations and improve treatment of detainees https://www.saferworld.org.uk/resources/news-and-analysis/post/870-yemeni-civil-society-organisations-support-peacebuilding-work-of-community-groups-
Yemeni youth also play a key role in building peace among communities in Yemen: resolving land disputes, building dialogue, encouraging communities to care for IDPs and monitoring human rights https://www.saferworld.org.uk/resources/publications/1241-athe-situation-needs-us-to-be-activea-youth-contributions-to-peacebuilding-in-yemen
“Women nowadays do anything” in Yemen that has been caring for child soldiers, monitoring human rights, mapping IDPs and supporting humanitarian relief. This all at a time when social norms can still be very restrictive https://www.saferworld.org.uk/resources/publications/1125-awomen-nowadays-do-anythinga-womenas-role-in-conflict-peace-and-security-in-yemen
UK's @DFID_UK & other donors have played a key role in supporting some of this work to empower #Yemeni organisations and communities to see the changes they want. But more can and should be done to put #Yemeni orgs in the driving seat. @DominicRaab @annietrev @SarahChampionMP
