In the context of armed conflict and political repression, Yemeni diasporas have been growing and their transnational networks expanding. Since the outbreak of war in 2014/2015, an estimated 4.5 million people have been displaced in Yemen and over 190 000 Yemenis fled the country to seek refugee status abroad. It is male-dominated migration, but the prominent participation of female leaders in peace-building activities and transnational networks made women stand out.

On June 6th ACMES in collaboration with the EU-funded PeaceWomen project will be holding a roundtable. Admission to the event is free and registration is not required.

Speakers:
Ewa K. Strzelecka is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, leader of Peace Women project, and co-founder of MENARA.
Saba Hamzah is a decolonial poet-scholar, writer, educator, founder and chairwoman of the Yemeni Women Archive.
Mustafa Naji al-Jabzi is a PhD researcher at the Rouen University in France (Laboratoire DySoLab) and former Yemeni diplomat.

Chair:
Marina de Regt is an Associate Professor at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Vrije Universiteit and co-founder of MENARA.
