In light of the ongoing war in Yemen and the escalation of human rights violation, particularly in Taiz Governorate, the Women and Child Development Center organized a specialized training workshop on “Monitoring, Documentation, and Conflict Sensitivity.”

The workshop aimed to fill a significant knowledge and capacity gap within the Center, especially the institutional limitations in training its volunteer team, most of whom are young women, engaged in documenting human rights violations. The participants previously lacked structured tools, international documentation standards, and a clear understanding of how to work effectively and ethically in conflict-affected environments.

Participants emphasized that the training provided them with essential tools to document violations using standardized, internationally recognized methodologies. This will enhance the credibility of the Center’s reports and strengthen its engagement with international human rights organizations. They also stressed that improving the team’s technical skills is now vital to producing accurate, reliable documentation that can inform advocacy and accountability efforts.

This training was funded by the Abductees’ Mothers Association (AMA) as part of the project “Protecting Civil and Women’s Spaces and Promoting Women’s Role in the Peace Process,” supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through the United Nations Peace Support Facility (UN PSF).
