With the help of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)'s project "Safe Space for Women and Girls", HUMAN ACCESS carried out a number of important activities in Al Mahra, Shabwa and Marib governorates to find lasting solutions to support the most vulnerable families in living in dignity and safety while contributing to the local economy.
In Al-Ghaydah city of Al-Mahra, the safe space handed over 8 economic empowerment bags in hairdressing and sweets/pastries manufacturing, in presence of the governor's deputy, Badr Kalshat, who stressed the importance of these income-generating projects to enhance livelihoods and prevent the slide into poverty and unemployment due to the country's challenging economic and living conditions.
In Ataq city of Shabwa, the safe space implemented a free course in henna engraving in response to the request of many women and girls visiting the space to acquire the skills of the craft profession and qualify them for employment and to make a positive contribution to their families, communities, and standard of living.
A safe space in Marib's Al-Matar area organized awareness sessions in displaced people camps, including bringing awareness to the importance of education and implementing collective psychological support.
The safe space also concluded a training course in sewing for 17 trainees by organizing a bazaar to display their products and creativity.
Furthermore, 60 female students took part in group psychological counseling for psychological resilience in Al Jufaina safe space.
