Houthi Atrocities: 3,835 Yemeni Women Killed or Injured Since 2021 — Report
A new report by the Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms has revealed that Iran-backed Houthi militias committed 3,835 crimes against Yemeni women between January 2021 and January 2025.
According to the report, 1,456 women were killed by indiscriminate shelling, landmine explosions, sniper fire, and live ammunition, while 2,379 others were wounded.
The network also documented 447 cases of kidnapping, enforced disappearance, and torture targeting women in Houthi-controlled areas—acts that, the report states, amount to crimes against humanity.
The organization called on the international community to condemn the violations, hold the perpetrators accountable, and provide urgent support to victims and their families.
It further urged the UN and human rights organizations to pressure the Houthis into allowing international investigation teams into affected areas to document the crimes and prevent further atrocities against women and children in Yemen.
