My paper addresses the question: to what extent have women meaningfully participated in the official peace process in Yemen since 2015? The academic peace studies literature has shown that women’s meaningful participation in formal peace negotiations is one of the main components of the Women Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, yet 22 years after Resolution 1325, it remains one of the least advanced areas. This dissertation examines the case study of Yemen, through semi-structured interviews with eight professionals working to support women’s participation in Yemeni peace negotiations. The research uses a theoretical framework of inclusive peace and women’s meaningful participation, informed by Paffenholz (2018) and O’Reilly, Súilleabháin and Paffenholz (2015). This paper analyses of the application of international instruments to advance the presence and meaningful participation of Yemeni women in the United Nations (UN)-led peace efforts since 2015. It finds that, despite the leadership of the UN, efforts by the international community and the normative focus on WPS, women’s inclusion has been superficial and Yemeni women are still far from having a significant influence in the high-level peace process. There is a need to advance the application of the mechanism of women’s meaningful participation in the Yemeni context to ensure that women are elevated to the highest levels of decision-making, and that gender provisions are included in peace agreements and subsequent stages of reformulating the constitution and political settlements.
