Yemen
Current and Past Recommendations to the UN Security Council (Monthly Action Points)
As the situation in Yemen continues to worsen, the Security Council should ensure that all peace and security processes are inclusive of civil society organizations, and particularly inclusive of women. Both the process and outcome of any effort to resolve the crisis should protect and promote women’s rights, ensure women’s full participation, and integrate a gender perspective which breaks down structures of inequality in order to establish inclusive, institutions and processes that will support peace. The Council should call for investigations of violations of human rights and ensure accountability for all perpetrators. Protection of women’s rights, and support for women’s participation is particularly important in the midst of a crisis, and thus, the Council must ensure these are priorities in all efforts to resolve the situation.
