Women of Yemen March for Peace
On International Women's Day, a group of female and male activists marched in the old city of Sana'a. It was a stand against armed conflict, emphasizing the role of women in peacekeeping.
Women switched the traditional Zamil poetry of war, to recite zamil poetry of peace, which included the following verse:
"We are the girls and women of peace.. if war approaches we close its' doors."
