Peacemaking in Yemen Needs Women's Voices

International efforts to end the war in Yemen are stuck in an outdated two-party paradigm, seeking to mediate between the Huthis, backed by Iran, and their foes in the Hadi government, backed by Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, civil society and women in organisations with strong local insights and peace-building capacities have also been excluded from the UN-led process. For a lasting settlement, these increasingly important local peacekeeping actors need to be brought back in.
