<p>The UK champions and supports the important role women, youth and civil society
can play in ending the conflict in Yemen. We are a global leader on the Women Peace
and Security (WPS) agenda and the penholder on UNSCR 1325 at the Security Council.</p><p>We
continue to support the work of UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths, who is actively
engaging women in the peace process. We also fund Senior Gender Advisor and Senior
Inclusion Advisor positions 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) supports a range of Track II (Influential Figures) and Track III (Civil Society
and Local Groups) initiatives which promote a more inclusive political dialogue. We
also support the Yemeni Women's Pact for Peace and Security (through UN Women), which
aims to increase female leadership and inclusion in the peace processes, as well as
a variety of projects aimed at supporting the work of grassroots women leaders and
civil society organisations in communities across Yemen.</p>
