Empowering and protecting Yemeni women and girls

This project is to build the capacities of women and girls to address the issues of women, girls and children and empower them economically in war-affected areas that have witnessed large waves of displacement, such as Sana’a governorate, which is witnessing a high population density, especially since the beginning of the armed conflict. The illiteracy rate among displaced women and girls is 65%, according to the rapid assessment of needs carried out by the organization in Sana’a during February 2020, and the survey was repeated in April 2022. This was attributed to the inability of these groups to integrate socially in the host areas, mainly due to the absence of job opportunities Which generates income for them and enables individuals to find an appropriate standard of living that enables its members to enroll and continue in education. In addition, literacy among women and girls causes problems related to living and health, family planning and child life. In addition, women and girls need some professions and jobs to eradicate poverty and improve their deteriorating living conditions, which they suffer in light of the living conditions that the Yemeni family goes through as a result of conflicts, wars and natural disasters. In order to practice these crafts to rely on themselves for income and to prepare for work in society and their access to entrepreneurship in the future, the Sanid Organization for Relief and Development (SORD) intervened to address these issues and problems in two directions: Building the capacities of 500 displaced and poorest women and girls in Sana’a in economic empowerment in the areas of modern sewing The art of hairdressing, the manufacture of detergents, the manufacture of incense and its derivatives, education for adults, literacy, awareness of reproductive health, and others.
