<p>We continue to advocate actively for the inclusion of women in the Yemeni peace
process and encourage political actors to take women’s views into account. Through
the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) we support projects with UN Women
which aim to increase Yemeni women’s capacity to influence political/conflict actors
and the peace process, including through the Yemeni Women Pact. CSSF projects also
support the inclusion of women in Track II political dialogue, and in local peacebuilding
initiatives. During last month’s peace talks in Stockholm, UN Special Envoy Martin
Griffiths invited eight women, representing different political parties, civil society,
activists and development workers in Yemen, to assist him during negotiations. Our
Embassy also used our social media accounts in the run up to Stockholm to encourage
the parties to include women in their delegations.</p><p></p>
