Abstract
Yemeni women’s role in conflict resolution
Highlights
Our world is nowadays characterized by a complex interconnection of relations, where people, nations, economies, politics, media, culture, between other fields, are linked by invisible ties
Another important historical moment was the adoption of Resolution 1325 in 2000, by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), which highlighted the discussion about the role of women in conflict resolution
The Yemeni culture has its roots in a patriarchal society, where women do have not a decisive role in political matters, we can conclude with this study that Yemeni women are interested in participating and making their voices be heard in conflict resolution talks
