The Supreme Council of Resistance, in cooperation with the Yemeni Women’s Union, organizes a workshop on the role of women

  The Supreme Council of Popular Resistance, in cooperation with the Yemeni Women's Union, organized a workshop on the role of women in advocating resistance and social issues.

 In the workshop, the head of the Yemeni Women’s Union branch in Ma’rib, Ms. Fanda Al-Ammari, spoke about the role of women in situations of war and peace, the necessity of advocating for their social, political and other issues, placing women’s issues on the priorities of the Yemeni components, and taking practical steps to enhance their status.

 Sheikh Hammoud Saeed Al-Mikhlafi, Chairman of the Supreme Council of Popular Resistance, confirmed via video call that the Supreme Council of Resistance pays great attention to women, and they are present in the higher bodies of the Council and the various committees in the governorates.

 The President of the Supreme Council praised the struggles of Yemeni women and their participation with their brother men in carrying the national cause in many stages of Yemen’s history and continues to this day.

 For his part, Dr. Abdul Hamid Amer, Vice President of the Supreme Council, thanked the Yemeni Women’s Union in Ma’rib for his efforts in holding advocacy activities for women’s issues, making their voices heard, and raising community awareness, which will be reflected in general aspects and building generations in particular.

 In an intervention by Professor Nabila Saeed, member of the political body of the Supreme Council of Resistance, he said that the Houthi coup systematically targeted women and fought their presence at work and universities, which constitutes a major challenge in the next stage to confront the repercussions of family disintegration and the consequences of the Houthi coup against women and the Yemeni family.

 Dr. Amal Dahwan presented a working paper on women’s societal roles, reality and ambition, and listed a number of situations in which women played a pivotal role in making transformations.

 Dahwan spoke about the difficulties that women face today as a result of the conditions that have cast a shadow on women as they are the most effected, but they have demonstrated a superior ability to endure and carry out their role in the darkest circumstances.

 The workshop concluded with a discussion and interventions by the participants who expressed the reality that women experience and what they need to enhance their status, advocate for women’s issues, involve them in decision-making as a worthy representation of women, and empower them with everything that would create the conditions for them to carry out their desired role.
