The United Nations said Monday its partnership with the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has contributed to improving protection services to 65,000 of the most vulnerable women and girls in Yemen since January 2021. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) said in a statement that KSrelief has provided generous support for protection services to reduce gender-based violence in areas where the protection needs of women and girls have increased while supporting eight safe spaces and shelters in nine governorates. UNFPA also said that so far 30,000 individuals have attended awareness sessions in addition to training 800 battered women facing violence on livelihood skills, and providing cash assistance to more than 200 women in need while supporting eight shelters in nine Yemeni governorates. The statement stressed that the partnership between the KSrelief and the UNFPA in Yemen since 2015 has helped provide reproductive health and protection services to hundreds of thousands of Yemeni women and girls. Also, KSrelief reports reveal that its Seed of Safety program provided housing, food, and health services to 600 orphans and 100 families in the regions of Aden, Marib, West Coast, Al-Jouf, Al-Bayda, and Sanaa. It also included a health and environment awareness campaign aimed at preventing the spread of disease. The Center also implemented many empowerment projects in Yemen, with the aim of improving livelihoods, achieving sustainable development, caring for Yemeni families economically, socially, and psychologically, in addition to providing them with basic needs to alleviate the severity of the humanitarian crisis that the Yemeni people are enduring. Between January 9, 2015 and February 29, 2016, KSrelief in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund benefited 313,375 individuals when it implemented a project to strengthen multiple life-saving sectors with the aim of strengthening prevention from existing violence and the form of any act of physical, psychological or social violence.
