Saudi rights group urges action to end Houthi recruitment of children

The Saudi Arabia-based National Society for Human Rights has formally requested that the United Nations and the Security Council intervene to stop the recruitment and exploitation of children by Houthi forces in Yemen. The organization is advocating for international pressure to secure the release of minors currently involved in the conflict.

In addition to the immediate release of child soldiers, the group is calling for accountability measures against those responsible for the recruitment practices. The appeal highlights ongoing concerns regarding the impact of the Yemeni conflict on the country's youth population and seeks to leverage international bodies to enforce protections.
