ADEN - SABA
Yemen’s Foreign Minister has called on the United Nations to stop the Houthi abuses of women in the militia’s areas of control.

In a message addressed to UN Women Executive Director, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, minister Ahmed Awad Bin Mubarak said, “Yemeni women independently bore the responsibility of securing food, water and medicines to their children while Houthis stole the humanitarian aid and employed it as a war tool.”

“Women suffer bitterly because Houthis hijack their children from schools and conscript them to the frontlines … to fight against the Yemeni people,” he said. “Women in Houthi areas of control face all forms of abuse including the confiscation of their expression or demonstration freedom. Hundreds of women were thrown up in jails and were subjected to all forms of torture and abuse in jails” after they once tried to protest against the militia.
