Rights Group Reports Nearly 30,000 Houthi Violations Against Yemeni Children Since 2015

The Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms has revealed that it documented 29,891 violations and crimes committed by the Houthi terrorist militia against children across Yemen between January 2015 and March 2026.

In a newly released report, the organization said Houthi actions had led to the deaths of 5,180 children, including 582 infants, through sniper attacks, indiscriminate bombardment, landmine explosions, mass atrocities, and other forms of abuse.

The report also recorded 6,748 child casualties, including many who sustained permanent disabilities as a result of landmine-related incidents.

The network documented 348 cases involving the abduction and enforced disappearance of children, in addition to 167 rape cases.

It also reported that a number of detained children were subjected to severe physical and psychological abuse in Houthi-run detention centers, with some reportedly dying as a result of torture.

According to the report, Houthi practices have contributed to the displacement of nearly 43,965 children.

It added that the repercussions of the conflict and the coup have pushed more than three million children into the labor market, while approximately 4.5 million others have been denied education after schools were repurposed for military use and recruitment activities.

The report highlighted the continued recruitment of minors by the Houthi militia and their deployment in combat operations, describing the practice as a serious violation of international humanitarian law and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Citing international assessments, it noted that more than 40,000 children have been recruited by the group.

The network further documented the deaths of 6,823 child recruits and injuries to another 9,986.

The Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms said the documented abuses represent serious violations that could amount to crimes against humanity and constitute clear breaches of international legal standards designed to protect children during armed conflicts.

The organization called on the Houthi militia to immediately end the recruitment of children and release all detained minors. It also urged the international community, the United Nations, and human rights bodies to take stronger action to safeguard Yemen’s children and ensure accountability for those responsible, warning that continued inaction could jeopardize the future of an entire generation.
