Reports

The ongoing conflict in Yemen has precipitated a grave humanitarian crisis, with children suffering some of the most severe consequences. Among the most alarming violations is the recruitment of children by armed groups, including the Houthis, government forces, Al-Qaeda, and the Southern Transitional Council (STC). This practice not only robs children of their childhood but also exposes them to violence, exploitation, and profound psychological trauma. This report will explore the nature and extent of these violations, the specific abuses faced by children, the barriers to effective protection, and provide recommendations for strengthening accountability and safeguarding the rights of vulnerable children in Yemen.
