Seyaj released what it described as the first field report on the impact of war on children in Yemen, warning that children were paying a devastating price in the conflict.
The report found that nearly half of the fighters in northern Yemen were children, reflecting a grave pattern of recruitment and use of minors in armed conflict. It also documented the wider effects of war on children’s rights, including death, injury, displacement, school disruption, psychological trauma, and the collapse of essential services.
By publishing the report, Seyaj sought to draw urgent national and international attention to the scale of violations against children and to the need for immediate protection, accountability, and practical measures to keep children away from hostilities and restore their basic rights.
