Sweden made a donation of $3.8 million to support human rights in Yemen, build national capacities, and support civil society organizations active in the promotion and protection of these rights.

In a tweet posted on Twitter, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) expressed its thanks and gratitude. “Thank you to Sweden for donating $ 3.8 million to our human rights work in Yemen,” said the UNHCR.
