The Autonomous Woman: Violence Against Women (VAW)

Team The Autonomous Woman discusses a sensitive and important topic: gender-based violence against women in Yemen, and how this violence has been affected by the ongoing war in the country.

They will also discuss the efforts made by local and international organizations to combat this violence and support women.
