@OSESGY
08 Mar 2020 - Wars exacerbate gender inequalities. Women become more vulnerable to gender-based violence, including sexual violence, loss of economic rights and deprivation of education. But, despite the disproportionate impact wars have on their lives, women are often underrepresented when it comes to negotiating peace or managing post-conflict transitions. -

27 Feb 2020 - Amman, 27 February 2020 - The Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen (OSESGY) concluded a two-day consultative meeting with Yemeni public and political figures today, Thursday, in Amman, Jordan. -
@OSESGY
27 Feb 2020 - Yemen experienced one of the quietest periods of the conflict particularly in the air war. But recent military escalations since then have demonstrated the exceptional vulnerability of such gains that were made in the absence, in our view, of a political process to give them meaning and direction. Over the past month and a half, in particular, the military situation has grown more dire. Both sides have announced expansive military goals and exchanged fierce rhetoric. -
25 Feb 2020 - The Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen (OSESGY) is hosting a consultative meeting with a group of Yemeni public and political figures in Amman, Jordan, on 26-27 February 2020.
