Musawah Thematic Report on Yemen (2021)

In September 2021, Musawah submitted a Thematic Report on Yemen to the CEDAW Committee for review during the 80th session. This report examines Yemen’s legal framework and practices that enforce de jure and de facto discrimination against women in the following areas: child and forced marriage; violence against women; inheritance rights; and nationality rights. The report was drafted in conjunction with the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law School, as well as substantive inputs from Yemeni activists.
