“Women for Freedom and Peace Initiative- A Call for the Release of Detained Women in Yemen and the Promotion of Peace

Women are not parties to conflict and should never be its victims.

To All Parties Involved in Yemen’s Conflict

Amid the worsening humanitarian crisis caused by over a decade of conflict, and in alignment with human rights and international humanitarian law, the Abductees’ Mothers Association announces the launch of the “Women for Freedom and Peace” initiative.

This initiative seeks the immediate and unconditional release of all women detained by both sides of the conflict, regardless of their affiliations or backgrounds. It calls on the internationally recognized Yemeni government and the Houthi group to take moral and humanitarian responsibility by freeing these women, without any political or military considerations.

Such an action is not a sign of weakness but a victory for human dignity and a step toward peace and stability.

Key Provisions of the Initiative:

  1. Immediate and unconditional release of all women detained due to the conflict, regardless of their affiliations or backgrounds.
  2. Ensuring the safety and secure return of released women to their families.
  3. Granting international humanitarian organizations access to detained women to provide necessary support, including medical and psychological care.
  4. Ensuring humane treatment for women serving judicial sentences, preserving their dignity, and providing necessary care, with guaranteed release upon sentence completion.

The Abductees’ Mothers Association urges all parties to seize this opportunity to demonstrate commitment to humanity and justice. Let this initiative mark the start of a new year of restored dignity for the innocent, an end to women’s suffering, and the building of hope for a fair and just future.

Together, we can achieve freedom and peace for all women in Yemen.
