Response people who may be affected by potential shifts in conflict dynamics in all hubs across the country Preparedness for a period of up to six months (June to December 2020). Shifting frontlines, changes in control Strategy and extreme weather events may result in increased humanitarian needs, which will necessitate a 4. Cluster timely scaled-up response. Response Strategies This plan outlines the preparedness and response efforts planned. It covers displacement due to conflict and natural disasters with the aim of addressing the increased needs of the affected population based on two scenarios – (1) mostly likely and (2) worst case. The most likely scenario assumes that there are no major changes in conflict dynamics, rates of displacement remain the same and that heavy rainfall and flooding will occur within the next six months. This contingency plan does not cover COVID- 19 preparedness and response as this is addressed separately through the National Preparedness and Response Plan that has been developed jointly with the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and the humanitarian community led by WHO. Furthermore, this contingency plan will not be costed due to current funding gaps addressed by the ongoing prioritization process.

  • The Life Phases of a Yemeni Woman
    THE LIFE PHASES OF A YEMENI WOMAN By Marta Colburn Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies March 10, 2021 The Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies is an independent think-tank that seeks to foster change through knowledge production with a focus on Yemen and the surrounding region. The Center’s publications and programs, offered in both Arabic and English, cover political, social, economic and security related developments, aiming to impact policy locally, regionally, and internationally. COPYRIGHT © SANA´A CENTER 2021 THE LIFE PHASES OF A YEMENI WOMAN By Marta Colburn Sana’a Center for Strategic Studies March 10, 2021 Cover photo: Spectators watch a performance of traditional dancing and music, in Ataq, Shabwa governorate, on November 12, 2020 // Photo credit: Sam Tarling/Sana’a Center EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study examines the diversity of experiences of women and girls in Yemen, who face differing gender dynamics and challenges at various stages in their lives. It explores age- specific issues during five phases of life for girls and women in the following categories: • Birth, Infancy and Childhood (0-9 years of age); • Puberty and Adolescence (10-17 years of age); • Youth (18-29 years of age); • Middle Age (30-49 years of age); • The Twilight Years (50+ years of age). This study looks at underlying gender dynamics and cultural, social, political and economic challenges at each phase, as well as noting salient changes in the context of the war and the massive humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Proverbs are presented in each section to illustrate commonly encountered attitudes and beliefs about women at various stages in their life, which reflect complexities in Yemeni society and encompass contradictory ideas and norms.[1] Each section also includes profiles which are composites of real women and girls whom the author has encountered over decades of living, working and conducting research in Yemen.
