A Guide to Advancing Transitional Justice through Religious Leadership in Yemen

Developed under the “SPARK” Project, supported by DT Institute and implemented in partnership with SAM Organization for Rights and Freedoms and the Abductee of Mothers Association, this training guide addresses a critical gap in Yemen’s transitional justice landscape by engaging religious leaders as key actors in shaping public attitudes toward justice and reconciliation.

Its importance lies in bridging the divide between theoretical frameworks and community realities, offering a culturally grounded approach that integrates international standards with Islamic values. In a context marked by deep social fragmentation and contested narratives, the guide provides practical tools to promote acknowledgment of violations, victim-centered justice, and constructive dialogue.
