Women prisoners suffer a lot due to some social reasons.
They are completely neglected and shunned by their families and the society as a whole. Moreover, media and NGOs are not allowed to conduct field studies to review their conditions. At the seminar Mrs. Shatha Nasser, lawyer, and Mr. Foa'ad al-Ma'akhathi, representing the Red Cross, are going to present some papers pertaining to women conditions in prisons. Through their support National TB Institutes were founded in Sana'a, Taiz and Hodeidah. TB programs were also intensified in the southern part of the country.
