Taiz governorate topped the list with 347 murders, then Al Hudaydah governorate with 301 murders, followed by Aden governorate with 158 murders.

The report confirmed that the network team verified the death of 422 women as a result of the explosion of mines planted by the Houthi militia in the streets, public roads, residential neighborhoods, farms, grazing places and markets, including 123 women in Taiz governorate, 53 in Al-Jawf governorate, and 32 in the governorate of Al-Hodeidah.

The network team confirmed that the Houthi militia committed all forms of torture and cruel and degrading treatment against 70 abducted women in its secret and public prisons, which amounted to trumped-up charges against their honor, as well as trafficking in their honor - according to what was reported - in the testimonies of some of the released women.

Some raped women committed suicide and cases were reported in the central prison in the capital Sana'a, other some were killed by their families upon their release in “shame washing" acts.
