Welcoming Note.

Welcome to the website of the Congressional, Democracy, Human Rights and Gender Office.

The Congressional Department is mainly responsible for responding to, and following up with inquiries from the Congress on the Yemen-US bilateral relations and programs. The Department is also responsible for all inquiries and contacts in the issues of Democracy, Human Rights and Gender.

The Embassy of Yemen is keen in ensuring that Congress and the American people have sufficient information about the current conditions in Yemen. In the past, we have organized trips to Yemen to help promote knowledge and understanding of Yemen giving the opportunity to the visitors to learn about Yemen’s political, economic, cultural life.

The Department is also responsible in liaising with International Non Government Organizations working in the field of Democracy Promotion, Human Rights, Combating Trafficking, and Refugee assistance. The Government of Yemen welcomes all support that will help provide a better life for all its citizens.

We will continue to upgrade this section with information on high level delegation visits to Congress and on further information about Democracy, Human Rights and Gender in Yemen. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments or requests for information.
