While working in a health centre in Sana\u2019a city, many women approached me during pregnancy or after delivery. Most of them did not want more children, but their husbands did. I often talked to the husbands. I explained the importance of their wife\u2019s health and her choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Yemen will never stand on its feet if the community continues to marginalize women and to exclude them from the political and social spheres.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, I was working as a resident doctor. Many women came to our hospital after getting beaten up by their husbands. I gave them medical and mental support. I drafted the medical statements needed to report cases at the police stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I ensure that women have access to reproductive health services. I raise awareness on the issue both locally and globally. Personally, it is challenging to work in a conservative community like Yemeni society. But I pushed forward. I also financially support my sisters so they can finish university and be independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women play a pivotal role in bringing justice, peace, and security. In Yemen, the ongoing conflict has put women under a lot of pressure. It further limits their economic opportunities, freedom, and access to basic services. To liberate women, it is crucial to challenge the status quo. Yemen will never stand on its feet if the community continues to marginalize women and exclude them from the political and social spheres.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anne Kwakkenbos from the Netherlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>is Cordaid&#8217;s Gender expert.

With the pandemic, this became a big challenge. However, colleague lobbyists and activists worldwide were incredibly resilient and creative. We even participated in online UN Security Council meetings, for example, on sexual violence in the Central African Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Women and youth shouldn\u2019t be silenced when it comes to peace, stability, and security. They should be the first to listen to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Facilitating online access for civil society members to UN meetings and missions took sweat and tears. However, going fully digital was also an opportunity to become more inclusive. Suddenly, activists from fragile and volatile places no longer had to travel by air and make long, expensive trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cordaid works in fragile and volatile countries like South Sudan and Afghanistan. Gender equality is relevant for all women and men worldwide, especially here. We support women and young civil society activists in peacebuilding and decision-making processes because peacebuilding can only be successful if everyone is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, power often lies with older men, who aren\u2019t always happy to share it. We need to challenge that constantly because everyone needs to be heard. Women and youth shouldn\u2019t be silenced regarding peace, stability, and security. They should be the first to listen to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have the best job in the world. I get to work with the most amazing women, working in the most difficult circumstances. My only job is to open doors to decision-making spaces where they can express their concerns, speak up and grab opportunities to forge a more equal world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nasima Omari from Afghanistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>is Cordaid&#8217;s lobby and advocacy expert in Kabul.

Malnutrition rates are very high.\u00a0\u00a0Severe gender inequality further intensifies and increases poverty and fragility. Mothers lack basic nutrition and nutrition awareness, resulting in the impaired growth of their babies (stunting).
