19.06.2014Situation Analysis of Children in Yemen 2014

2014 Situation Analysis Report has been launched in Yemen by the Yemeni Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation and UNICEF in collaboration with the Situation Analysis Steering Committee

Yemeni children, who constitute fifty per cent of Yemen’s population, are facing a protracted humanitarian situation, which continues to be exacerbated by political instability, multiple localised conflicts and chronic underdevelopment, as well as gender disparities that are deeply rooted in cultural traditions. These inhibit women and girls from equal access to basic services, job opportunities and civic participation. The Situation Analysis of Children 2014 analyses the current situation of children in Yemen in terms of realising the rights of children, based on the best available data from various surveys, routine reporting and information.
