As part of its commitment to enhancing the roles of youth and women in fostering social stability, Sheba Youth Foundation implemented the “Youth and Women Participation in Social Stability” project. The initiative included the organization of discussion workshops in three Yemeni governorates: Taiz, Aden, and Lahj.
Funded by Save the Children – Yemen (SCI-Yemen), the project aims to activate the participation of young people and women in strengthening social cohesion and building a safer and more stable environment.
The workshops witnessed broad participation from decision-makers, representatives of local authorities, civil society organizations, the private sector, and media professionals. During the sessions, the results and recommendations of a research study led by 30 researchers from the three governorates were presented. The study focused on analyzing the role of youth and women in promoting social stability, identifying challenges they face, and exploring opportunities to enhance their contributions.
The research study provided valuable insights into how youth and women can be empowered as active participants in decision-making processes, thereby supporting the development of more cohesive and stable communities. The workshops included in-depth discussions of these findings and recommendations, emphasizing the need to translate them into practical programs and activities that enable youth and women to play a more significant role in fostering social stability.
The workshops were characterized by a dynamic exchange of ideas among participants, who shared innovative perspectives on mechanisms to implement the recommendations. These discussions highlighted the importance of developing initiatives that enhance the roles of youth and women across various sectors. Additionally, the dialogue underscored the critical need for collaboration between local entities, civil society organizations, and the private sector to ensure the project’s sustainable impact.
Funded by Save the Children – Yemen (SCI-Yemen), the “Youth and Women Participation in Social Stability” project represents a significant milestone in engaging youth and women in pathways to development and peace. The initiative reflects Sheba Youth Foundation’s commitment to fostering opportunities for meaningful participation and supporting sustainable efforts to build peaceful and stable communities in Yemen.
