Death for Adultery?

Yemeni Women

Did you know that some women in Yemen who commit adultrey are executed for committing adultrey? Did you know that when they commit adultery, they can also be ex-communicated from their families for life? Do you know why? Yemen is a male bastion. It is totally run and totally controlled by males. There is no balance here. That means that Yemen women need our help.

Help me give Yemeni women a voice. I’m making a documentary film with a Yemen journalist. Any resources of which you know, please share them with me so that we can make this film.
