Yemeni rural women resistance to the war
"The small amount that (Natheer) used to send while he was an immigrant, hardly meets our daily basic need but was not sufficient, because work in the village is difficult and seasonal. The war robbed our husbands' livelihood in their home cities, and the misery reached us in the countryside"; With these words, Kefaya began her talk about the suffering of rural women in the shadow of the war. The rural life of Kifaya Hammoud was deteriorated, after her husband returned from his migration, they lost their sole source of livelihood, which was providing her and their children with a kind of decent life. Her husband left the city of Hodeidah where he was working, due to the intensification of the war and the displacement of thousands, and he preferred to return to his village in Taiz Governorate, where his family lives. Kefaya said to "Khuyut": "As every rural woman, our suffering has exacerbated and our concerns increased. Rural women in Yemen bear countless concerns, in addition to the marginalization and injustice they experienced before the war which have even aggravated so that they have been deprived of many opportunities and rights.
