A group of 24 Yemeni human rights organizations called on all parties to stop violations against children, prevent child recruitment, and not involve them in military operations to benefit any party in the conflict in Yemen.

The organizations issued a statement on International Day against the Use of Child Soldiers. They stated that civil society organizations documented that 5,588 children were recruited between 2015 and 2022, with 5,467 recruited by the Houthi group, 93 by the legitimate government, and 29 other children by other formations.
