Women as a Force in Reconstruction and Development

The Mokha Center for Studies organized an extensive intellectual seminar titled “Women as a Force in Reconstruction and Development,” with the participation of a distinguished group of researchers, media professionals, human rights advocates, and specialists in social and political affairs.

The seminar discussed the role of women in the experiences of various nations during and after periods of war, and explored how these experiences could help shape an Arab and Yemeni vision that enhances women’s participation in reconstruction and development.

The discussions highlighted several examples, most notably women’s contributions to major political projects, their role in education and raising social awareness during crises, as well as their involvement in civil resistance and preserving social cohesion. The speakers emphasized that women are not secondary actors in conflict or reconstruction processes, but rather essential partners in shaping the future of societies.

The seminar concluded with a set of key recommendations, including: the need to strengthen women’s presence in civil initiatives and political decision-making; to develop policies and development programs that recognize their role as full partners in reconstruction; and to affirm that empowering women constitutes a strategic investment for ensuring stability and sustainable development.
