Insaf Center for Rights and Development participated in the national workshop organized by the Yemeni Coalition to Monitor Human Rights Violations (Rasd Coalition), in partnership with the DT Institute, and in coordination and cooperation with the Joint Government Technical Committee for the Prevention of Child Recruitment and the Justice for Yemen Coalition. The workshop was titled:
“Child Protection in Yemen: Current Challenges and a Roadmap for Practical Solutions,” and was held within the framework of the SAFE II program.
The workshop took place over two days, 17–18 December, in the city of Aden, with the participation of more than 60 participants, including representatives of governmental bodies and local and international civil society organizations.
Insaf Center was represented at the workshop by Mr. Saleem Al-Aghbari, Programs Director at the Center, who presented a working paper entitled:
“Grave Violations Against Marginalized and Displaced Children in Yemen.”
In his presentation, he reviewed the reality of violations faced by children in the context of the conflict, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable groups, the challenges related to protection and accountability, and the importance of adopting practical solutions that take into account humanitarian and human-rights dimensions.
During his intervention, Al-Aghbari emphasized the need to strengthen coordination between governmental entities and civil society organizations, and to link legal accountability with psychosocial rehabilitation and reintegration programs, in a way that contributes to protecting children, safeguarding their rights, and mitigating the impacts of the armed conflict on them.
Insaf Center’s participation comes within the framework of its ongoing efforts to defend children’s rights and to actively contribute to the development of a national roadmap and practical recommendations that strengthen the protection system and support national and international efforts to ensure a safer future for children in Yemen.
