Stärkung der Rolle von Frauen in Frieden und Sicherheit

Project Duration

July 2016 – June 2017

From July 2016 to June 2017, CARPO implemented the research project ‘Enhancing Women’s Role in Peace and Security’ in Yemen in cooperation with Saferworld and the Yemen Polling Center. The aim of the research, which was led by CARPO as the main applicant and which was funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, was to provide sound knowledge on issues around women and peace-building in Yemen during conflict (including impact of the conflict on women; services and support in the community; role of women in conflict; etc.); on local actors, such as women, who are active in their communities; and on opportunities and obstacles for women to play a role in peace-building. The results of this research has fed into a larger EU-funded project on women and peace-building in Yemen implemented by Saferworld.
