Empowering Women and Girls in Yemen
Summary
Throughout Yemen’s five-year war, women have often been among those most exposed to the devastating impacts of conflict. The crisis has heightened existing risks that disproportionately affect women, such as gender-based violence, family separation, exploitative labor, and exclusion from lifesaving humanitarian assistance. By supporting women’s community centers, USAID/BHA is enhancing the dignity, safety, and well-being of women and girls in Yemen while fulfilling its core mandate to alleviate suffering in the midst of crisis.
