<p>Yemen is a focus country in the new HMG national action plan on Women, Peace, and
Security for 2023-27 and is one of our human rights priority countries.</p><p>We champion
and support the important role women, youth and civil society can play in securing
lasting peace in Yemen, recognising the need for an inclusive peace process and consideration
for marginalised groups.</p><p>As a global leader on the Women Peace, and Security
agenda, the UK funds projects supporting the work of grassroots women leaders and
civil society organisations in communities across Yemen. For example, we supported
the Yemeni Women's Pact for Peace and Security (through UN Women), which aimed to
increase female leadership and inclusion in the peace processes.</p><p>We continue
to support the UN Special Envoy, who is actively engaging women in the peace process
and involving a wide range of Yemenis. We fund a Senior Gender Adviser position and
an Economist position in his office. Complementing the UN's efforts to deliver a durable
and sustainable peace deal, the UK's Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) has
supported a range of Track II (Influential Figures) and Track III (Civil Society and
Local Groups) initiatives which promote a more inclusive political dialogue, including
at the subnational level.</p>
