November 2024 – According to OCHA’s 2024 Humanitarian Needs overviews, 18.2M people in Yemen are in need assistance. Yemen’s healthcare system is facing immense challenges and is on the verge of collapse, leaving millions of people, especially women and children, highly vulnerable. Gender inequality continues to severely restrict women’s access to healthcare services in Yemen, with substantial protection and health-related challenges, particularly related to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). The prolonged conflict and widespread displacement have intensified Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) risks, especially for women and girls in overcrowded shelters and displacement camps.

With Global Affairs Canada’s support, Islamic Relief Canada aims to reduce suffering and increase and maintain human dignity, particularly of women and girls. It does so by bolstering services delivered in one Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CEmONC) and 13 Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities in Hodeidah Governorate. Project activities include: (1) rehabilitating gender-sensitive and inclusive healthcare centre and WASH facilities for vulnerable women and girls; (2) providing maternal health services (including counselling and reproductive health rights) to women and adolescent girls in targeted health facilities; (3) delivering training on basic psychosocial support skills and counseling for service providers of health center staff, and skilled birth attendants; and (4) providing essential medicines, medical supplies, medical equipment, and furniture to health centres. With these activities, the project aims to reach 46, 628 beneficiaries in Yemen.
