Yemen Post Revolution

Sounds like another success. Sickening that we continue to stick our heads in the sand while women and young girls are treated as secondary humans.

In a report released Monday, Oxfam International said four out of five Yemeni women (80%) claim their lives have worsened over the past 12 months. Faced with an intensifying humanitarian crisis, which has left a quarter of women between the ages of 15 and 49 acutely malnourished, they say they're struggling to feed their families and are unable to participate in the country's transition.

Oxfam said more parents are marrying off their daughters early, some as young as 12.

Freedom and Democracy are not just words.
