On Wednesday, the Supreme Committee for Southern Women held an emergency meeting in the capital, Aden, with leaders of the Southern Transitional Council and the southern women's components, headed by Dr. Najwa Fadl, Advisor to President Al-Zubaidi for Women's Affairs, Chairman of the Supreme Committee for Southern Women.

 Dr. Najwa conveyed the greetings of the President, Commander Aidaroos Qassem Al-Zubaidi, President of the Southern Transitional Council, Vice-Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, and the Southern Transitional Council's support for women and their leadership and political empowerment, and praising the important struggle role that southern women play in various political and societal fields.

 The meeting called on the Presidential Leadership Council to restructure the National Committee for Women, in which there is no effective representation of southern women, stressing the need to fulfill international obligations and agreements related to consensus and political partnership that resulted from the Riyadh agreements and consultations.

 The meeting emphasized not allowing the marginalization of southern women and excluding them from real representation in all bodies and departments of the Presidential Leadership Council, in particular the Consultation and Reconciliation Commission, in which northern women acquired its representation.

The meeting discussed a number of issues of the southern women, in particular the attempt of the Yemeni forces to reproduce themselves in the south through suspicious projects such as settling the displaced or integrating them into the southern society, or through slogans that try to exploit various women's issues.

 The meeting reaffirmed the rejection of southern women's leaders with their various political and societal affiliations to any projects, summits or workshops that do not meet the aspirations of the struggling southern women and contradict the victories and goals of the people of the south, noting that the Supreme Committee for Southern Women is studying options to respond to any calls or suspicious projects that do not amount to sacrifices of the southern People and the Political Aspirations of Southern Women.
