dc.descriptionFindings from this assessment illustrate the importance of addressing gender norms (both barriers and positive levers) and gender-based violence (GBV) to achieve sustainable development outcomes in areas of Yemen controlled by the Internationally Recognized Government (IRG). Gender norms can both facilitate or limit access to economic opportunities and/or resources, and, in practice, gender norms have been observed as sustaining unequal power relations between women and men. These practices are important to consider in the context of development outcomes – interventions that do not address harmful gender norms and leverage positive norms will be significantly limited in their reach and potential to address critical gender gaps. In Yemen, the protracted conflict has exacerbated existing harmful gender norms that narrow women’s access to employment and increase their risk of GBV. At the same time, the conflict has also opened positive shifts in the existing system of gender norms that could be leveraged and further supported by World Bank operations.
