Protecting the rights of all children in Yemen is Seyaj’s core specialization. For the past fifteen years, the organization has worked in partnership and cooperation with UN and international organizations, national governmental and non-governmental institutions, and a network of male and female volunteers across all Yemeni governorates.
Based on its mission, values, and the standards and ethics of child-rights defenders, Seyaj has worked to strengthen and sustain its partnerships with all concerned actors and stakeholders, while increasing the participation of the national private sector, the family, and Yemeni society in efforts to protect, care for, and advance children’s rights.
The war has sharply increased crimes and violations against children since 2014 and intensified risks and threats to their rights. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have further deepened the unprecedented suffering of most children in Yemen. These conditions and others make partnership and integration between Seyaj and the various institutions concerned with childhood more necessary than ever.
