Rural women are key agents for achieving environmental, economic, and social changes required for sustainable development. After nearly eight years of continuous conflict in Yemen, rural communities are becoming more dependent on women. According to World Bank research on climate adaptation, almost two-thirds of Yemenis still rely on agriculture to make ends meet, and more than 75% live in rural areas, where women represent about 95% of the labor force. In these rural societies, women play a pivotal role not only in food security, but also land management and climate change mitigation for water—which is already scarce.
