News Center_ the suffering of women in Yemen Continues to worsen as the years-long war persists.

Human rights reports have documented thousands of systematic violations against them, ranging from killing and shelling to kidnapping, arbitrary detention, and rape inside detention facilities.

The National Committee for Investigating Allegations of Human Rights Violations in Yemen issued a statement on Monday, December 8, coinciding with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, revealing the latest statistics on crimes committed against women.

The Committee affirmed that the abuses women face are no longer isolated incidents but have become part of a systematic pattern of repression exacerbated by the war, the absence of protection mechanisms, and weak legal accountability. It noted that the deteriorating human rights and humanitarian situation has left Yemeni women increasingly vulnerable to violations that surpass even the direct effects of the armed conflict itself, stressing that documenting and investigating these abuses has become a core pillar of its work.

Regarding violations against women in Yemen, the statement reported that more than 790 women have been killed and around 1,490 others injured, including cases that resulted in permanent disabilities due to widespread violence. The Committee also documented 218 cases of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance involving women and girls, in addition to 208 female victims of landmines, vehicle-borne mines, and improvised explosive devices, which continue to target civilians and cause long-term devastating consequences.

The statement emphasized that these figures are not mere statistics but compelling evidence of systematic violence against women requiring urgent intervention. It stressed that the absence of accountability encourages the continuation of such violations and prolongs the suffering of women and girls within a conflict that offers them insufficient protection.

The Committee called on the relevant authorities and all local and international actors to launch serious investigations in accordance with international standards and to hold all perpetrators accountable to ensure that impunity is not tolerated. It also urged the immediate release of women arbitrarily detained and called for the provision of medical and psychological care as well as legal protection for survivors.

The National Committee further stated that it has already begun comprehensive investigations into all documented cases and confirmed its commitment to taking legal action against those responsible. This stance reaffirms the Committee’s dedication to defending the rights of women in Yemen and dismantling the structures that perpetuate systematic violence against them and allow such abuses to persist without accountability.
