At a high-level side event hosted by Luxembourg on 6 March 2023 during the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Peace Track Initiative's Protection Coordinator, Nadia Ebrahim, delivered a statement on the rising threats faced by Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) in Yemen.
The intervention highlighted the sharp increase in violations—ranging from physical violence and digital harassment to defamation campaigns—targeting women advocating for peace, rights, and justice. Nadia Gamal called for robust international and national mechanisms to document abuses, ensure protection services, deliver justice, and guarantee reparations.
The statement also reflected on PTI’s engagement with the Group of Eminent Experts (GEE) and stressed the urgent need for gender-responsive, intersectional, and sustainable approaches to protect WHRDs in conflict settings. This advocacy effort reaffirms PTI’s commitment to defending civic space and amplifying the voices of women at risk.
