Houthi governance justified on religious grounds is putting severe pressure on religious minorities including Christians, Baha\u2019is, Jews, and non-religious persons. The few remaining members of each community stay hidden due to threats of Houthi harassment, intimidation, and violence. The Houthi movement continues to spread its dominance and control over areas in northern Yemen through its systematic religious indoctrination campaign that reaches across multiple sectors, including education, health, and detention facilities, as well as civil society. The situation of women living under Houthi rule has also grown more dire. Authorities have increasingly imposed policies with a religious underpinning that restrict women\u2019s religious freedom. These include male guardian requirements for travel and forced segregation in public spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn-primary single-cta-btn\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-05\/2023%20Factsheet%20Houthi%20%281%29.pdf\">View PDF<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"block-taxonomytermview\" class=\"block block-custom-blocks block-taxonomy-term-view\">\n<div class=\"content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/publications\/religious-freedom-houthi-controlled-areas-yemen?rand=6542\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Religious Freedom in Houthi-Controlled Areas of Yemen This factsheet outlines religious freedom conditions in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
