In Yemen, Where Are the Women? [BONUS SCENE] | Times Dispatched | مشهد إضافي: أين المرأة في اليمن؟

While I was in Yemen, I went to

this packed political convention,

but it was mostly packed with men.

So I pulled aside one of the
very few women there,

activist Hana to talk.

Hana and the rest of the women clustered
in a sitting area by themselves.

They certainly didn't take the floor,

and they observed in silence

as the khat chewing men around
them broke out in cheers.
