Yemen participated on Monday in the Second International Conference on Combating Discrimination Against Islam and Muslims, hosted by the League of Arab States under the theme "Muslim Communities in the West and Their Role in Countering Islamophobia."
The Yemeni delegation was headed by Abdulmalik Dahhan, Chargé d'Affaires of Yemen's Permanent Mission to the Arab League.

Participants called for broader educational, media, and public awareness initiatives to foster tolerance, respect for diversity, and mutual understanding. They also stressed the importance of supporting efforts to combat hate speech and incitement based on religion or belief.
