Justice4Yemen Pact Coalition and civil society organizations’ statement reveals a crisis of violence against women in Yemen, exacerbated by a decade of conflict. The country is reported as the worst place in the world for women, with a staggering 63% experiencing violence since the war began. Horrific statistics highlight the scale of the problem: over 1,757 women were killed or injured between 2018 and 2024, and hundreds more suffered from mine-related injuries.
