Reports issued by UNICEF say that...30% of students not enrolled in schools are girls while 14% are boys [in Yemen]. A study issued by the Rehabilitation of Working Children Centre...showed that 40% of children working in the streets sell newspapers, food, water, snacks, and tissues or clean cars. Though it is recognized that Yemeni Law No. 45 of 2002 on Children’s Rights requires the state to take necessary measures to aid children suffering from difficult living circumstances, many children are exposed to abuse, exploited or lured into performing illegal acts.
