Deputy Foreign Minister of Yemen, Hussein al-Ezzi has on Sunday denied issuing any official decree preventing women from practicing work.
In a post on his Facebook page, the Deputy Foreign Minister called for investigating the credibility and information from its sources.
لايوجد أي قرار بمنع المرأة عن مزاولةالعمل وعلى من يتحدث عن وجود قرار أن يتوخى المصداقية في مايعتمد عليه من معلومات ومصادر
نعم قد تحدث تصرفات فردية كانعكاس هزيل لرواسب الثقافةالوهابية التي عمل الخصوم ع تعزيرها خلال العقود الماضية وهكذا تصرفات نحرص ع ضبطها والتوعية بشأنها أولا بأول— حسين العزي (@hussinalezzi5) January 30, 2021
He explained that if individual acts of preventing women from working did occur, they represent “a weak reflection of the sediments of Wahhabi culture that the opponents have worked to strengthen it over the past decades.”
Al-Ezzi stressed the government’s keenness to combat any such practices that prevent women from being employed and earning income.
