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."
Brave women and men. Thinking of you and hoping the National Dialogue starts to move things in a peaceful and prosperous direction for your country. x
