UNFPA Republic of Yemen

Years of conflict and instability, deep economic problems and the COVID-19 pandemic have converged to create a humanitarian crisis in Yemen. The country has a high maternal mortality rate, and UNFPA works to improve the availability and quality of reproductive health services and to provide safe deliveries and care for women, particularly those with obstetric fistula. Humanitarian initiatives focus on women and girls displaced by crises. UNFPA also engages men, young people and religious and community leaders to raise awareness on women’s health and rights. It works with policymakers to integrate population issues in poverty reduction and other national plans, and to amend legislation to reduce gender discrimination.
