A lexicon on hate speech in Yemen

PeaceTech Lab, Peace Track Initiative, and Development Transformations have partnered to produce “Yemen: A Lexicon of Hate Speech Terms” which is a tool that stakeholders can use to identify and curb the use of specific hate speech terms on Yemen’s social media platforms to help bring an end to violence.

Yemen WPS National Agenda for 2016

I In 2016, over 70 Yemeni women leaders collaborated to develop the Yemeni Women’s Agenda for Peace and Security (WPS National Agenda)—a policy-oriented document outlining key recommendations for inclusive peace, justice, and post-conflict recovery in Yemen. Addressed to the UN Security Council, peace process facilitators, and international actors, the agenda proposes a 30% quota for women’s participation, the protection of women and girls from gender-based violence, disarmament initiatives, economic inclusion, and transitional justice mechanisms that consider gender dimensions. It also underscores the importance of integrating the needs of women and children into peace negotiations, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction plans, in line with UN Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 2242. Recognized by the UN Security Council in June 2017, the agenda remains a reference point for efforts aimed at achieving inclusive and lasting peace in Yemen. The full document outlines Yemeni women’s contributions to peacebuilding and efforts toward gender equality.
