Yemeni Women: Leading into the Future

By: Zena Ali Ahmad, UNDP Yemen Resident Representative

As a woman from the region, I understand the difficulties Yemeni women face. Together with UNDP, I am committed to continuing to help reinvent opportunities for Yemeni women leaders that work within country. We will continue to help push the development wheel forward, building on Yemen’s long history of strong women leaders like the Queen of Sheba, among others.
