Yesterday, Monday, the governorate of Ma’rib witnessed the official handover process of the Rural Women’s Development building and its affiliated guardroom in the Al-Manin area, following their evacuation by internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had been residing there. The buildings were subsequently handed over to the relevant government authorities.
This step comes within the framework of a project led by SAM Organization for Rights and Liberties, in partnership with the Abductees’ Mothers Association and with support from the DT Institute, as part of the SPARK project activities, under the umbrella of the “Restorative Justice Initiative.”
The initiative aims to develop sustainable and humane solutions for displaced citizens residing in government buildings, in a manner that preserves their dignity and provides them with suitable housing alternatives, while simultaneously reactivating and rehabilitating public service and development facilities so they can resume serving the community and the public interest. The initiative also seeks to strengthen social cohesion by applying restorative justice mechanisms that balance meeting the humanitarian needs of displaced people with restoring state-owned public assets.
The handover process took place in the presence of official, security, and community representatives, including members of the Reconciliation Committee, representatives from the Agriculture Office, and representatives of the relevant security authorities.
Participants praised the high level of coordination and cooperation among human rights organizations, community committees, and government and security institutions, emphasizing that this collaborative approach contributed to the smooth completion of the process, supporting efforts toward stability and development and strengthening trust and partnership among the various stakeholders in Ma’rib Governorate.
