Abstract:
The big quantity of fabric remnants was thrown away in Yemen due to a lack of knowledge and competency in reusing the remnants as material for making clothes. It has become a burden to the consumers and also bad for the environment. Therefore, this research aims to understand why the seamstress in Yemen wasted a lot of remnants and the possibility of using the remnants in making innovative designs on Yemenis traditional clothing such as Abaya and Galabiah. In order to answer the objectives, the researcher applies the qualitative approach in order to describe and understand the problems stated for this study by made several interviews with Yemeni’s respondent who used to be a seamstress in Yemen, besides her personal experience when working in the workshop in Yemen. The prior objective is to recognise what was done to remnants in sewing workshops. Secondly, the researcher will be producing a design line using remnants with various techniques of embellishment to create new designs for Yemen's traditional costume of Abaya and Galabiah. The researcher hopes that through her innovation can inspire other designers or seamstress to use remnants as a source of material in making clothes. At the end of this study, the researcher found out that her Yemeni’s respondents threw away remnants because they do not have the knowledge and skill to turn remnants into fashion. Plus, they are also lazy to think of recycling remnants since they had lots of orders from clients. In the end, the researcher made a questionnaire about the final designs and they did agree that remnants can be used to make beautiful traditional Yemeni’s dress. Since remnants came from different sources, the design made is unique and one-off, which is the preference for most Yemenis. The researcher also proved that innovative and creative thinking are vital in creating designs, and hopefully it can change the perspective of Yemeni women towards the usage of remnants in fashion.

Abstract:
Women's economic empowerment is an important issue for development in order to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth, and it is also one of the most effective ways to advance the role of women in society. It is therefore a lifeline for bringing Yemeni women into economic life, but the economic opportunities available to Yemeni women are very limited. That is because there are many challenges facing their economic empowerment. Therefore, this study aims to identify the views of Yemeni women regarding the most important challenges and obstacles that stand in the way of economic empowerment of women in Yemen by adopting the analytical descriptive methodology with the help of primary data collected by a developed questionnaire tool, and secondary data which was obtained from official reports, previous studies and other resources relevant to the study topic. The findings indicate that women's financial illiteracy and negative customs and traditions in the society are the most critical challenges to the economic empowerment of Yemeni women, with percentages of 56% and 52% respectively, with other factors receiving various percentages. Meanwhile, 2% of the total sample size (421 women) brought to light other challenges to women's economic empowerment in Yemen, the most important of which was the insufficient proliferation of Islamic financial institutions. Based on the results and findings, the study recommends more attention be paid to making education compulsory in the society, and the gradual correction of negative customs and traditions in Yemeni society through spreading knowledge and awareness, which could improve the chances of economic empowerment of women.

Abstract:
The current paper attempts to explore the sociocultural use of the Arabic word عيبEib 'shame' among the Yemeni women. Language, as the main tool of communication, sometimes has to be used in a very tough and vague manner by its users, especially by those who are uneducated. This paper tends to tackle the issue of using the Arabic word Eib by Yemeni women in some daily linguistic situations. The word Eib is found to be used in a wide-range situation by Yemeni speakers to carry meanings that are not corresponding with the meaning in the selected Arabic dictionaries. The common misuse of the word Eib among Yemeni speakers, especially women can be attributed to two main factors; cultural and religious, as it has been inferred from the data obtained from the informants. Yemeni speakers, use the word Eib to express their anger or loathing against behavior, saying, writing, etc. that goes against either the social norms based on cultural beliefs or religious instructions. The misuse of the word Eib is common not only among ignorant people but also among some educated ones. Some linguistic uses are inherited from one generation to another rather.

Abstract:
Despite the existence of women’s empowerment strategies since the late nineties and qualified women in decision-making positions in charge of implementing them, these strategies failed to significantly improve women’s conditions and the situation of Yemeni women in the Republic of Yemen remains dismal. This article attempts to explain this failure through a mixed-method approach, surveying and interviewing Yemeni women leaders who were involved as authority figures or people of influence between 2006 and 2014 in said strategies. Findings from this research have strong policy implications on future development and gender equality policies in the country placing the experiences of women as policy makers, activists, advocates at the center of the analysis.

Abstract:
Khat chewing is associated with unfavourable health outcomes and family dysfunction. Few studies have addressed the factors associated with khat chewing among Yemeni women. However, the family and husband effects on chewing khat by women have not been addressed. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of khat chewing among Yemeni women and its associated factors, particularly husbands and family factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 692 adult Yemeni women in the city of Sana’a in Yemen using structured “face to face” interviews. Mean (±SD) age of women was 27.3 years (±6.10). The prevalence of chewing khat by women was 29.6%. Factors associated with chewing khat among women were chewing khat by husbands (OR=1.8; 95% CI: 1.26, 2.53), being married (OR=2.0; 95% CI: 1.20, 3.37), frequent family social gatherings (OR=1.5; 95% CI: 1.06, 2.10), high family income (OR=1.57; 95% CI: 1.12, 2.21), larger house (OR=1.63; 95% CI: 1.16, 2.31), and age of women (OR=0.64; 95% CI: 0.44, 0.92). It is concluded that khat chewing by women in this study was significantly associated with family factors and with khat chewing by their husbands. Urgent action is needed to control khat chewing particularly among women.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article argues that employing migrant domestic workers has become a new form of social distinction in urban Yemen. The rapid social, economic and political changes of the past forty years have altered Yemen's system of social stratification. Formerly, one's racial descent and economic background determined the work they performed. Manual and service professions had a very low status and were only performed by the lowest social status groups. Nowadays other forms of social distinction have emerged. Although the economic situation in Yemen has deteriorated since the 1990s, the demand for paid domestic labour has increased. Yemeni women are reluctant to take up paid work as domestics, and middle and upper middle class families in urban areas employ migrant and refugee women, in particular from the Horn of Africa.

Abstract:
Background. Infection with group B Streptococcus (GBS) is still a neonatal life-threatening illness, especially in developing countries such as Yemen. Objective. This study was aimed at determining the vaginal colonization rate and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of GBS among Yemeni pregnant women. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study over a four-month period involving 210 pregnant women at the 35th to 39th gestational weeks who visited Gaza medical center in Sana’a city, Yemen. The collected vaginal swab specimen was inoculated in the Todd-Hewitt enrichment broth and incubated for 24 h and then subcultured on a 5% human blood agar plate. All positive cultures identified as GBS were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility tests using the disk diffusion method. Results. Out of 210 recruited pregnant women, 23 (10.95%) were GBS vaginal carriers. All GBS isolates were sensitive to penicillin, ampicillin, levofloxacin, cefotaxime, and vancomycin. Conclusion. Based on the study’s results, approximately eleven out of every 100 pregnant women in Sana’a city are vaginally colonized by GBS. Beta-lactam antibiotics remain the drug of choice to treat and prevent GBS infections. A prenatal screening policy is urgently needed for Yemeni pregnant women.

Abstract:
The first women's short story in the Yemen was published in the South in the 1960 at the beginning of the decade that was to witness national liberation movements in both the South and the North. In the South independence was gained from British colonial control in the 1967 when the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen was formed. During this decade women from the South began to publish short stories. In the North the revolution of 1962 led to the creation of the Yemen Arab Republic, ending the rule of the Imams. But for most of the rest of the decade there was instability and fighting between republican and loyalist forces. Women from the North started to publish short stories in the 1970's . Since then Yemeni women have continued to write and publish their stories in newspaper, magazines and in anthologies1

Abstract:
This study explores the ways in which two educated Yemeni women understand and engage with storylines in their society which position them as 'sisters of men' obliged to conform to expectations of 'good' wives, mothers, daughters and Muslims. My own long immersion in Yemeni society, and de se experience of being discursively, interactively and structurally positioned as a woman and a wife in that context created a compelling desire to explore the ascribed social identities, roles and relationships of women in Yemen. In keeping with the feminist underpinnings of this study, I used a holistic method of investigation, the life history interview, and a voice relational mode of analysis that facilitated engagement with the women and their multiple subjectivities and positionings. Findings suggest that far from understanding themselves as de facto victims of their men and their religion, these strong and outspoken characters actively and willingly embrace those storylines derived from Islam but live them in sometimes unexpected ways. I also collaborated with my storytellers in the construction of personal narratives to enable readers to understand a little more about the world that these women inhabit, and help transform "information into shared experience" (Denzin 2009: 216). This study makes conceptual, methodological, practical and political contributions and suggests areas for further research.

Full text
Abstract:
This life history study explores the textual practices of four Yemeni women from Northtown, a town in the North of England. The study takes a social and ideological view of literacy, one that regards literacy as a social practice occurring within 'webs of people and institutions' (Barton, Hamilton and Ivanic, 2000:14). It explores the ways in which literacy and language practices are linked to the womens' lives, social worlds and to their narratives. I have used life history methods that draw from feminism, critical theory, post-modernism and post-colonialism to co-construct the informants' stories. This investigation models a research method that grows out of a feminist approach of reframing power relationships, knowledge construction and individual experiences. I have used narrative inquiry as the process for this research, to enable the distinctive voices of the women to emerge from the research data and for their individual stories to be crafted.

Abstract:
Voyager au Yémen, pays lointain et plutôt fermé aux Occidentaux mais riche d’un passé mythique dont on a chanté les éloges depuis l'Antiquité, est comme une véritable aventure. Ce caractère exceptionnel est mis en évidence dans les récits de voyage de ceux qui ont pu s'y rendre. Dans leurs récits respectifs, les quatre voyageuses occidentales francophones Lucile Fevrier, Claudie Fayein, Laurence Deonna, Blandine Destremau témoignent d'abord du même désir et de la même impatience qui ont précédés leurs voyages et font part des différentes expériences de rencontre et de découvertes d’un peuple qui leur était inconnu : le peuple yéménite. En tant que femmes, l'un des éléments dynamiques de leurs expériences de voyage est "la" femme yéménite qu'elles ont, toutes, essayé d’approcher jusque dans son intimité (harem) pour mieux saisir et rendre compte des différentes manières d'être femme au Yémen et de la condition féminine dans ce pays dit de la reine de Saba. Les récits des quatre voyageuses choisies dans cette étude s’étalent entre deux périodes : de 1948 à 1962 et de 1962 à 1990, suite à la révolution de 1962 marquant la fin de la monarchie ainsi que des évolutions notables concernant notamment la condition des femmes. Même s'ils ne sont que des relations de voyages, ils apportent une couche décisive à toute tentative de compréhension de la société yéménite d'hier, d'aujourd'hui et même de demain. En effet, du fait de leur profession de médecin, sociologue, ethnologue, reporter-photographe, et aussi de leur statut de femme, L. Fevrier, C. Fayein, L. Deonna, B. Destremau sont admises dans l’antre des harems qu'elle pouvait par cette occasion, pratiquer, observer, décrire. Ainsi, leurs témoignages à ce sujet gagnent d’autant plus en précision, en richesse d’analyse et en authenticité d'autant plus que les voyageurs occidentaux hommes n'y avaient pas accès. On peut amplement attribuer le sceau de l’inédit à ces récits sur les femmes arabes yéménites
Traveling across Yemen, a distant country, closed to Western countries and rich with a mythical past of whom a lot of songs of praise are sung since antiquity, is like a real adventure. This exceptional character is highlighted in travel narratives of those who were able to go there. In their respective narratives, the four western, francophone female travellers, Lucile Fevrier, Claudie Fayein, Laurence Deonna and Blandine Destremau show at first the same desire and the same eagerness to which preceded their travels and are part of different encounter experiences and discoveries of people they did not know the people of Yemen. As women, one of the dynamic elements of their travel experiences is "the" Yemeni woman to whom they tried to make their approaches even to her most intimate sides (Harem) in order to better grasp and to report on the different ways of ways of being a woman in Yemen and the Status of Women in this country called the country of Queen of Sheba.The narratives of the four travelers selected in this dissertation cover two periods: from 1948 to 1962 et and from 1962 to 1990, following the 1962 revolution which marked the end of the monarchy as well as the significant developments related to. the status of women. Even, though these encounters are simply travel relations They bring a decisive layer to any attempt at understanding Yemeni society of the past and of the future. Indeed, because of their occupations as doctors, sociologists, ethnologists, and also because of their status as women, photographer reporter, L. Fevrier, C. Fayein, L. Deonna, and B. Destremau are admitted to the world of harems which they could practice, observe and describe at this time. Thus, their testimonies about the subject, are more accurate in the richness of the analysis and in authenticity all, so that the western male travelers did not have access to such places. One can largely attribute the seal of the unexpected and new to these narratives about Arab Yemeni women

Abstract:
Au Yémen, et spécialement à Sanaa et dans les régions avoisinantes, la zaffah est à la fois une cérémonie collective et un rite de passage, dont l'organisation marque la célébration et la reconnaissance par la communauté du changement de statut de l'un de ses membres (mariage, mise au monde d'un enfant, obtention d'un diplôme...). Animée et interprétée par des spécialistes, la zaffah maintient dans la mémoire du groupe un répertoire de poésies chantées, dont la forme et le contenu véhiculent des traditions très anciennes, tout en s'adaptant aux mutations sociales et culturelles les plus récentes
In Yemen, and especially in Sanaa and in the neighbouring regions, zaffah is both a collective ceremony and a rite of passage. Its organization marks the celebration and the recognition by the community of a change of status (marriage, birth, graduation…) of one of its members. Led and interpreted by specialists, zaffah maintains in the memory of the group a repertory of sung poetry, whose shape and contents transmit very old traditions, while adapting to the most recent social and cultural transformations

Abstract:
This chapter describes education in Yemen. Beginning in the 19th century, there was a transition from oral to written religious instruction and legal decisions. Oral shariah instruction from teacher to student gave way to written dissemination through the gradual evolution of print and the influence of Ottoman and British educational styles on Yemeni society. While the written word insured longevity, the absence of the oral tradition obscured original meanings hidden within the tones of verbal recitation. Yemen's state school curriculum along with official correspondence and records are mostly in fusha Arabic. The chapter then looks at the literacy rate in the general Yemeni population, before considering the tradition of higher education. It also discusses the state of women's rights in Yemen, assessing whether there are any Yemeni women who have managed to succeed despite the obstacles. Finally, the chapter examines the role of civil society and the state of healthcare in Yemen.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes how Yemeni American women’s everyday space-making practices in Hamtramck blur the lines between public and private, complicating mainstream modes of organizing space and scrambling the ideological correlates associated with these two discursive realms. The chapter discusses how Yemeni women across generations choreograph the gendering of space within homes, streets, neighborhoods, mosques, and schools, enriching their lives with social, cultural, spiritual, and economic exchanges. The chapter shows how areas in Yemeni homes, such as women’s living rooms, sometimes function as semi-public spaces open to an extended and loosely bounded set of non-kin visitors during times set apart for sociability and religious instruction. The chapter includes a discussion of how women-only spaces in mosques reproduce or echo some features of home-based gender norms. In secondary schools, Yemeni female youth sustain or modify community-based gender separation practices to establish comfortable spaces for themselves in an ethnically and racially mixed context.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the role of Adeni women in the Southern Movement and their involvement in the formation of a southern national identity. Kevin A. Davis argues that women are critical for the Southern Movement through their symbolic roles in representing a prosperous and cosmopolitan past in the city of Aden, and framing the desires of the current secessionist movement. This study is based on ethnographic research and interviews, specifically framed through the work of Um Sahar, a prominent female activist in the Southern Movement. Her role in the nationalist struggle highlights conflicting roles and expectations for women in contemporary Aden. She represents the views of liberal and progressive Adenis who struggle against conservative social norms imposed on them by the greater Yemeni society.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes how Yemeni and Bangladeshi American women and teenage girls in Hamtramck establish a particular type of gender organization—what I call “civic purdah”—across a variety of different contexts. Although there is no exact word for it in Arabic, Bangladeshis and other South Asians use the word “purdah” to signify gender separation, most often in expressed through patterns of dress (hijāb) and proximity, enacted in an effort to protect the sanctity of women’s bodies and spaces from the gaze and interference of unrelated men. Civic purdah signifies the way that women interpret and apply the purdah ethos in the municipal context as a means of participating in different aspects of city life. When enacted in public spaces and institutions, civic purdah can be considered a means for advancing cultural citizenship, defined as engaging in the dominant society while maintaining differences from the norm.

Abstract:
The level of political representation of women in different legislative bodies around the world varies greatly. The women in the Arab world, is that as in other areas of the world, have throughout history experienced discrimination and have been subject to restriction of their freedoms and rights. Many of these practices and limitations are based on cultural and emanate from tradition and not from religion as many people supposed, these main constraints that create an obstacle towards women’s rights and liberties are reflected in the participation of women in political life. Although there are differences between the countries, the Arab region in general is noted for the low participation of women in politics. Universal suffrage has become common in most countries, but there are still some Arab women who are denied such rights. There have been many highly respected female leaders in Arab history, such as Shajar al-Durr (13th century) in Egypt, Queen Orpha (d. 1090) in Yemen. In the modern era there have also been examples of female leadership in Arab countries. However, in Arabic-speaking countries no woman has ever been head of state, although many Arabs remarked on the presence of women such as Jehan Al Sadat, the wife of Anwar El Sadat in Egypt, and Wassila Bourguiba, the wife of Habib Bourguiba in Tunisia, who have strongly influenced their husbands in their dealings with matters of state. Many Arab countries allow women to vote in national elections. The first female Member of Parliament in the Arab world was Rawya Ateya, who was elected in Egypt in 1957. Some countries granted the female franchise in their constitutions following independence, while some extended the franchise to women in later constitutional amendments.

Abstract:
In Afghanistan, the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and Yemen, women’s rights organizations are leading efforts to realize the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, in spite of ongoing conflict, insecurity and occupation. But without national duty bearers and international actors stepping up to meet their commitments, implement National Action Plans (NAPs) and provide resources and support, the full potential of the agenda will not be reached. This briefing paper explores challenges, lessons learned and opportunities related to realizing the WPS agenda, and makes recommendations to a range of national and international stakeholders on how to support its implementation in Afghanistan, OPT and Yemen.
