What we do

Our work

Our tracks in diplomacy, policy, research, and leadership, and how we carry the voice of our people into the halls of decision-making.

Five tracks. One mission.

We work at the intersection of diplomacy, policy advocacy, research, leadership development, and community engagement to advance the Yemeni cause, with the Southern cause at its heart, on international platforms.

Policy & advocacy

Carrying the Southern voice to the halls of decision-making

YACC Organization's advocacy is led by our Executive Director Alkhadher Sulaiman, who represents the organization before the United Nations, the U.S. Congress, and diplomatic missions, ensuring the voice of South Yemen is present in international policy discussions.

From humanitarian corridors to civil rights to diplomatic recognition, we show up where it matters, because the future of the South is not up for negotiation.

"We believe any sustainable peace remains tied to a just and comprehensive treatment of the Southern cause within a political settlement that guarantees lasting stability for all."
