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. Key Words: Eib ' shame', Culture, Religion, Yemen, Gender

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 reports the results of an evaluation of an education and training effort for promoting diarrheal control, nutritional health and general maternal and child health among rural Yemeni women. Eight hundred and five volunteer women and men from twenty Yemeni villages in the governorates of Al Beida and Hajja, were trained to disseminate basic health messages to friends and neighbors in their villages. Evaluators visited four villages that had received the training and two that had not, to determine whether the dissemination had actually occurred. Mothers contacted by their recently-trained neighbors correctly responded to all knowledge and practice questions related to diarrhea control, oral rehydration therapy and breast feeding, whereas mothers in control villages averaged 60 percent correct responses. The results suggest the potential for interpersonal education for improving child survival and maternal health in Yemen.

Abstract:

Six years of war in Yemen have destroyed human rights in a country whose record was already abysmal. Yemen is considered the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, largely due to its food insecurity. Destroyed infrastructure, lack of services and fuel, a non-functioning government, and continued fighting has taken the lives of over 18,000 civilians, leaving survival efforts to take precedent overall. With no oversight, human rights are non-existent. A significant rise in violence has occurred against women including abuse, rape, and torture by a number of parties, including belligerents. Houthi rebels, Saudi forces, and Saudi backed Yemeni forces have all been documented to have committed serious abuses against civilians. For women, violence in the home is even worse. With extremely limited rights and protection, women remain vulnerable to domestic and sexual violence from relatives and have little to no recourse. Honor killings remain acceptable, and young girls are frequently married off as there is no minimum age of marriage. With chaos continuing to block most outside help, Yemeni’s will continue to suffer extreme human rights abuses until the war ends.

Abstract:

The current study discusses the most common negative Yemeni traditions that are against women rights and social position. It sheds light on some popular proverbs related and used to confirm these traditions. The essential aim of this study is to identify these negative traditions and proverbs by showing their painful impact on Yemeni women. The researcher attempted to identify the reasons behind such beliefs and offer some solutions that can rule out or at least decrease following these discreditable traditional codes and proverbs. Furthermore, it tends to investigate the conflict between traditional conceptions and the awareness of women's status in society. Structured questionnaire and interviews were used for data collection. The findings show that most of Yemeni women are treated badly and their social position, rights, and existence as a substantial part of this society have no value. The study reveals that the majority of Yemeni people are affected by traditional beliefs as they regard them as essential parts of their identities and sacred codes. Consequently, the reasons behind such miserable traditions are the lack of education and misunderstanding of religion instructions. Key Words:Women social traditions popular proverbs position rights.

This paper is mainly based on the secondary data collected from the records of the Yemeni Government programmes viz., Social Fund for Development, Microfinance books, websites, official reports and other sources related to the research subject. The mentioned study covers the period from 1997 to 2013 and the area for the study is Yemen. The result of the study reported that there are multiple factors affecting the empowerment of women in Yemen through microfinance such as customs and traditions, high interest rate, financial literacy, wrong religious perceptions, demanded collaterals. However, despite the difficulties and challenges facing women empowerment in Yemen, it is believed that women who are connected to microfinance programs have been positively affected with their households in various aspects as many studies revealed that.</p>

Abstract:

Microcredit financing is extensively considered as an effective development method for poverty mitigation and women empowerment. Nevertheless, relevant studies reflected opposing outcomes on microfinance effects consisting of positive, zero, and negative impacts. Thus, this research investigated Al-Amal Bank’s microcredit impacts on women empowerment in Yemen, one of the poorest Middle Eastern nations. A panel dataset and primary and secondary data were gathered through household surveys and propensity score matching to restrict intangible variables’ possible effects. The empirical results revealed that microcredit had a significant positive effect on monthly household incomes and accumulated asset values. Although microcredit facilitated female entrepreneurship and income generation for improved household incomes and expenditure, no influence was found on female household decisions and mobility following the patriarchal system practised in many Arabian nations, including Yemen. Hence, the study finding has theoretically and practically contributed to the body of knowledge in three ways. First, a novel proof of how microcredit interactions affected several Yemeni women empowerment elements was identified. This study also provides new insight into the empowerment theory by explaining how access to microcredit influences numerous features of women’s economic and social empowerment. Lastly, social and family traditions significantly influenced female attributes and lifestyles by reflecting how communal and family rituals affected microcredit impacts on women empowerment and vice versa. Conversely, this study guides Yemeni policymakers and those from other nations on extending financial services for self-development to reduce poverty and drive women empowerment rather than relying on government and international agencies.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT. The United Nations has declared Yemen as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis with 21 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Due to the convergence of severe economic instability exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, stifling war, and spiking food prices, the Yemeni people are at the brink of famine with women and children especially malnourished. Desperate to feed their families, civilians are forced to resort to begging, participate in child marriages, or plunge into debt. An inflated currency has significantly diminished the purchasing power of the Yemeni population, and COVID-19 restrictions have made acquisition of food and essential commodity imports arduous. Immediate action by global and local governments is essential to prevent the deaths of thousands of people in the wake of severe food scarcity.

Abstract Background: Metabolic syndrome has been linked to many adverse health consequences, including breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the metabolic and hormonal disorders and assess the effect on estrogens in Yemeni women with breast cancer. Patients and Methods: A total of 69 Yemeni women with breast cancer were recruited into the cross-sectional study. This study was conducted at the National Oncology Center in Mukalla, Yemen, from15th March to 30th July 2021. Anthropometric data and blood pressure were taken from each participant. Fasting blood glucose FBG, HbA1c, lipid profile, C-reactive protein (CRP), were measured using the chemical autoanalyzer (Mindray Bs230 autoanalyzer, Mindray Diagnostics). Insulin, estradiol, and testosterone were measured using Mindray CL-960i, Mindray Diagnostics ). Data were analyzed by using SPSS. Results: The mean age of the participants was 48.17±11.0 years. The majority were normal weight(40.6%), and some were obese (30.4%) and overweight (29.0%). The majority had breast cancer stage2 (53.6%), and some were stage 4 (24.6%) and stage 3 (21.7%). Obese breast cancer women had significantly higher weight (P<0.001), BMI (P<0.001), waist (P<0.001), and hips (P<0.001) than the normal weight group. Furthermore, obese breast cancer women had significantly higher HbA1c(P=0.016), TC (P<0.001), and LDL-C (P=0.032) than the normal weight group. Insulin was positively associated with FBG (P=0.001) and HOMA-IR (P<0.001). Estradiol was positively associated with total cholesterol (P=0.004), triglycerides (P=0.007), and CRP (P=0.026). testosterone was negatively associated with CRP (P=0.011) and estradiol (P=0.019) in the combined groups studied. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome is more prevalent in breast cancer patients and is more likely to develop breast cancer.

Abstract:

The decision to migrate for educational purposes is often stressful, but for those leaving countries embroiled in major warring conflicts, the decision may be overshadowed by feelings of sadness, anger and loss. And for many, the ostensible purpose of migration - education, is overshadowed by the desire or need to leave for economic and security reasons. In such situations, migrants hope they can power through those negative feelings and emerge successful, and with familial honor intact. The narrative weapon used to defeat negative feelings are stories of pride and resourcefulness. In this study Yemeni students studying at a university in Guangdong Province, China were interviewed concerning their decisions to leave Yemen. Participants were between 20 and 30 years old: all were male. Most hailed from Aden or Sana’a or areas adjacent to those major cities and all aligned themselves with pre-1990 South Yemen, as described by their fathers. Narrative analysis revealed a striking similarity: stories of hopeful future redemption through economic opportunities found abroad. Indeed, participants revealed a consuming desire for economic success - an obligation that was energized by feelings of pride in being trusted with custodial duties of familial honor. The results are discussed qualitatively in terms of categorical content and episodic form. This study is limited in that it only includes Yemeni males aligned with pre-1990 South Yemen, and those who hail from Sana’a, Aden or nearby urban centers. Future studies should include women, and those who encompass wider political views and reside in rural areas.

The aim of the research is to identify the representations of the Yemeni reality in virtual societies in the conditions of war, through interactions with viewers, icons, and positive and negative comments with static images, which were displayed through the “Create a Story” window on the researcher’s page on the social networking platform (Facebook) to be the research community and its sample. The analytical descriptive approach was used in analyzing the interactions, and the number of images reached (60) static images during the extended period (1/1 - 21/3/ 2021), each four images were distributed in each of the topics of the Yemeni reality, and the most prominent findings of the research : The images of the topics of prominent Yemeni feminist elites, Yemeni women in traditional costumes and actors are given priority by representations of the Yemeni reality, through iconic interactions, with a high rate of (32.21%), and through interaction by viewing, at a high rate of (30.20%), as these topics came In the forefront of positive representations through interaction with positive comments, and with them pictures of common folk dance topics (men, women), scholars and contemporary thinkers, poets and writers, with a percentage of (73.21%) of the high representations. It did not show any positive high representations in the images of political, economic, scientific, intellectual, literary, artistic and civilized subjects. While the results showed the predominance of medium representations, through the interaction by watching the images of the warring Yemeni political parties, the Yemeni Congregation for Reform Party topped the negative representations, through the iconic interactions, then the topics of merchants, businessmen, the legitimate authority and the followers of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, and issues of public opinion and the destruction that He was succeeded by the war and the Houthis (Ansar Allah), with a percentage of (78.70%) of the average representation.

Abstract:

Background. Utilization of professional care during childbirth by women in low-income countries is important for the progress towards MDG 5. In Yemen, home births have decreased minimally during the past decades. Objective. The study investigates the influence of socio-demographic, birth outcome and demand factors on women's future preference of a home or institutional childbirth. Method. We interviewed 220 women with childbirth experience in urban/rural Yemen. We performed bivariate chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression analysis. A multistage sampling process was used. Results. The issues of own choice, birth support and birth complications were the most important for women's preference of future location of childbirth. Women who had previously been able to follow their own individual choice regarding birth attendance and/or location of childbirth were six times more likely to plan a future childbirth in the same location and women who received birth support four times more likely. Birth complications were associated with a 2.5-fold decrease in likelihood. Conclusions. To offer women with institutional childbirth access to birth support is crucial in attracting women to professional care during childbirth. Yemeni women's low utilization of modern delivery care should be seen in the context of women's low autonomy and status.

Abstract:

Introduction: Physiological pregnancy changes can negatively impact the oral health of pregnant women. Objectives: The present study sought to assess tooth loss among a sample of Yemeni women in association with the number of children and interpregnancy interval. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 644 Yemeni women. The subjects were interviewed to collect relevant socio-demographic factors, including age, education, and number of children. Oral hygiene practices as well as oral habits (such as qat chewing and smoking) were also recorded. Number of missing teeth was ascertained through clinical examination. Results: A round 644 women aged between 16 and 51 years participated in the study. Overall, the participants revealed poor oral hygiene practices, with only one-fifth of the sample reported brushing their teeth regularly (i.e., at least once a day), and around 36.8% reported using dental aids occasionally. Some 52% and 21% of the sample were qat chewers and smokers, respectively. The mean number of tooth loss and the number of children were 4.7 and 4.15, respectively; approximately 54% of the participating women had more than 3 children. The logistic regression revealed a significant association between the number of children and tooth loss. Conclusion: Yemeni women showed unsatisfactory oral hygiene practices and a high prevalence of tooth loss which increased proportionally with the number of children and interpregnancy interval. This emphasizes the importance of effective oral hygiene motivation and health education among females during pregnancy periods.

Abstract:

AbstractYoung women activists in Yemen today often express a profound disappointment over the process of partisan competition, even as they continue to show a commitment to public service and civic engagement. This undoubtedly stems from nearly two decades of slowly receding rights, as the logic of multiparty competition has led political parties across the political spectrum to articulate an increasingly narrow set of views regarding the public roles of women and to allocate fewer resources to support their female members. This essay details the trajectory of these disappointments and shows how the interrelated processes of encroaching authoritarianism and cross-ideological opposition have come to position women as the objects of partisan debate, while simultaneously limiting their opportunities to directly shape Yemeni politics through partisan institutions. In response to a system that has valued their votes more than their voices, women have increasingly invested their energies in the associational sector, a choice that runs the risk of exacerbating some of the limits that they encounter under prevailing political conditions.

Abstract:

Background: Yemen faces major challenges in improving the health status of its population as it is entering an epidemiological transition with rising non-communicable diseases e.g. obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). We designed this study to find out the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and its components among obese Yemeni patients. Methods: All obese (waist circumference >102 cm (40 inch) in male and >88 cm (35 inch) in female) attending the outpatients medical clinics at the three teaching hospitals in Sana'a city, were examined and their blood pressure (BP), fasting samples of plasma glucose, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol were measured. The prevalence of MS obtained based on the Adult Treatment Panel III and presence of at least 3 of the following: systolic BP ≥130 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 85 mm Hg or on treatment for high BP, fasting glucose ≥110 mg/dl or on diabetes treatment, triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl, and HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dl in men and <50 mg/dl in women. Results: 200 obese were identified during study period with an overall MS prevalence of 46%. The metabolic co-morbidities were raised BP (68%), high triglycerides (66%), reduced high density lipoprotein (64%), and raised fasting blood glucose (40%).Conclusion: Prevalence of MS is high among obese Yemeni patients and high BP was the commonest co-morbidity. These findings highlight an urgent need to develop strategies for prevention, detection, and treatment of MS that could contribute to decreasing the rising incidence of CVD and diabetes. Keywords: Metabolic syndrome, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, Yemen.

Abstract:

Using principal component analysis (PCA) and integrating both individual and household factors, we had previously derived and proposed 3 socioeconomic indices (namely, wealth index, educational index, and housing quality index) that can be used to classify rural Yemeni women into different socioeconomic statuses (SES). In the current article, we examined whether the PCA-derived indices can be used to predict the use of maternal and child health care services in rural Yemen. We used data from subnational representative multistage sampling cross-sectional household survey conducted in rural Yemen in 2008-2009 among women (N = 6907) who had given birth. The resulting component scores for each SES index were divided into tertiles. Logistic regression was used to study the associations between the SES indices and 4 indicators of maternal health care use. Higher tertiles of each socioeconomic index increased the likelihood of adequate antenatal care use, delivery assistance, and contraceptive use, but decreased the likelihood of unmet need for contraception. Key maternal health indicators can be determined by socioeconomic indicators. Therefore, in planning maternal and child health interventions, considering disparities of care by socioeconomic factors should be taken into account.

Abstract:

Arab women in general and Yemeni women in particular have been frequently presented with a negative and tarnished image, whether in media or literature. Arguably, women are perceived to be deterred by various factors such as high illiteracy rate in their midst. They are usually reported to be suffering from low socioeconomic standing in the society. Besides, women are usually assumed and/or supposed to be living under the constant grip of social customsand traditions. Therefore, women are mostly depicted in the writings of many with a negative image. They are portrayed with stereotypical images as being fragile, passively compliant, and submissive. Besides, women have usually been depicted as victims of and/or sex objects for men. The current research paper is thus intended to negotiate and explore the nature of women's image(s) presented in Wajdi al-Ahdal'sA Land without Jasmine. In addition to mapping out the image of women presented in the novel, the present research is going to examine the particular impact of such perpetuated stereotyping images in bettering or worsening the status of women.

Abstract:

The study investigated the relationship between the board of directors’ characteristics and performance in the Yemeni banks. It aimed to identify and measure the variables of the board of directors’ characteristics, and then develop a model to measure such relationships. To achieve the study objectives, panel data of 10 Yemeni banks for the years 2000-2013 were used. The study also developed 13 independent variables related to characteristics of the board of directors and two dependent variables pertinent to finance. The study used multiple regression models to test this relationship. The econometric program (EVIEWS) was also used. The study results showed that there were positive relationships between the number of meetings, the dual role of CEOs, CEO and board members’ salaries and remuneration and their percentage of ownership, on the one hand, and between the ROE and ROA on the other. In addition, the results revealed a negative relationship between the board size, number of executive members, qualifications of the CEO, and the ROE and ROA. However, there were conflicting results of the relationships between the number of audit committee members and the ROE and ROA. Therefore, it was recommended that banks form effective structure of boards of directors with good characteristics that could have positive effect on performance. It was also recommended that the Central Bank of Yemen encourage banks to provide regular data on the BOD for researchers, and enhance the participation of women in the boards. Keywords: Board of directors, Characteristics of the board of directors, Bank performance, ROE, ROA.

Abstract:

AbstractIf political activities (demonstration, revolution, war) can be understood as forms of ritual performance in which temporary social hegemonic inversions typically are followed by competing efforts to restore structure or define a new structure, then under what conditions would they offer potential for changes in family dynamics and gender roles? The past few years in Yemen have witnessed extraordinary political and socioeconomic turbulence, from the 2011 Arab Spring revolution to the 2015 brutal war. Yemeni families have been significantly impacted in myriad ways, including displacement, family separation, poverty, violence, unemployment, sectarian strife, disruption of education, and mental illness. Men and women have demonstrated a high level of public activism during the Arab Spring and the war, further altering family dynamics and the gendered social tapestry, in a highly patriarchal country. Social “disorder,” including modification of gender roles, is often challenged by those desiring to restore “order,” the “traditional” family structure, and patriarchy. This study analyzes gendered dimensions of the “Yemen Spring” and the subsequent war, with a particular focus on the link between gendered family dynamics and the sociopolitical landscape, also considering the role religion and religious groups play.

Abstract:

This beautifully produced work provides a gendered reading of the centralityof the Karbala commemorations among Shi`i communities. There isa strong Persian(ate) bias in the selections (only two papers really deal withpractices in an Arab context). However, it represents the maturity of the stateof Shi`i studies, having moved beyond the sensationalism of political obsessionsfollowing the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the textually basedOrientalism of an earlier generation to considerations of actual practices,performances, understanding of texts, and enactments of doctrines. The Women of Karbala is a significant contribution to the study of Shi`iIslam in practice. Most of the papers are based on anthropological fieldworkin majoritarian communities. The collection could have benefited from somemore historical studies (there are two studies on the Qajar period), textualstudies, and examinations of Arab communities, as well as the increasingsignificance of the Shi`i diasporic communities in Europe and North America(one paper does nod in that direction). Another feature that would haveenhanced the collection would be to interpret Shi`i more widely. For example,there is one paper on Bohra practices but none on the Zaydis and recentdevelopments in the Yemeni highlands that have made Shi`i commemorationscritical junctures of conflict ...

Abstract:

Objective: To determine the frequency and pattern of abnormal cervical smear findings among women attending the University of Science and Technology Hospital (USTH) in Sana'a city. Methods: This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. Records of women examined by conventional Pap smears in the Histopathology Laboratory of USTH over a 4-year period (from January 2013 to December 2016) were retrieved and analyzed for abnormalities according to the Bethesda system. Results: Of 688 cases, 599 with satisfactory records were analyzed. The mean age of the cases was 39.18±10.23 years (range: 19–75). Epithelial cell abnormalities (ECAs) were found in 47 cases (7.8%), and these were categorized as follows: ASCUS in 4.5% (27/599) of cases followed by atypical glandular cells (AGC) (2.2%; 13/599) and LSIL (0.5%; 3/599), while ASCH and HSIL abnormalities were equally observed among 0.3% (2/599 each) of cases. Of patients positive Pap smear findings, ASCUS was the most frequent type of ECA (57.4%; 27/47) followed by AGC (27.7%; 13/47) and LSIL (6.4%; 3/47), while ASCH and HSIL were the least frequent ECAs among Yemeni patients. ECAs were significantly more prevalent among women aged >40 years (10.8%) compared with those aged <40 years (5.5%). Conclusions: Cervical cytological abnormalities are not uncommon among women in Yemen, where the AGC is frequent among about a third of women with abnormal Pap smear findings and affects women of different ages. This requires more attention and training of doctors to master good sample taking, preparation and diagnosis with a focus on glandular changes.

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAPs) of Yemeni women attending primary healthcare centers (PHCCs) in Sana’a city towards family planning (FP).Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among women attending three PHCCs in Sana'a city; namely, in Hadah, Al-Soneinah and Madhbah zones, between 21 November and 1 December 2011. The study included a sample of 281 married women, where data about socio-demographic characteristics and the KAPs towards FP were collected by interviewing women using a pre-designed, structured questionnaire and then analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.Results: Of the married women attending the PHCCs in Sana'a, the majority of respondents were from urban areas (96.4%; 271/281), aged between 25–29 years old (23.1% 65/281), employed (75.8%; 213/281) and with primary or secondary levels of education (60.9%; 171/281). In addition, the majority of women had a marriage length of 6–11 years (65.5%; 182/281) and 3–4 children (44.8%; 126/281). The majority of respondents (89.7%) knew about FP, and 60.2% considered it as birth spacing. Moreover, most respondents (87.5%) were aware of at least four methods of FP, and 53.6% heard of modern FP contraceptive methods. Of them, 85.9% and 74.0% heard of contraceptive pills and intrauterine contraceptive devices (ICDU), respectively; however, the least known contraceptive method was the use of male condoms (28.1%). Healthcare providers were the source of information on FP for the majority of respondents (60.5%). The majority of respondents believed that the optimum spacing between births should be two or three years, being 31.7% and 38.8%, respectively. In addition, most respondents (80.8%) believed that both couples must share the decision-making on FP. Socio-cultural beliefs and values were thought to be the most common (57.3%) barriers to the practice of FP.Conclusions: Although the majority of Yemeni women seeking healthcare after marriage have a good level of knowledge of several traditional and modern methods of FP and their preference of long birth spacing, the use of such methods is still limited to contraceptive pills and ICDU. Therefore, attention should be paid to health education of women on the benefits of using other alternative methods of FP for better family lifestyle, health and well-being.
