ప్రజలు రద్దీగా ఉండే ప్రదేశాలలో ఇలాంటి వాహనాలు ప్రవేశించడం అంతర్జాతీయ చట్టాలకు మరియు మానవహక్కులరక్షణకు ఇది వ్యతిరేకమని కర్మన్ అభిప్రాయపడింది.

[[File:Yemen protest.jpg|thumb|Protest on the "[[Day of Rage]]" that Karman had called for in [[Sana'a]], [[Yemen]], from 3 February 2011.]]
During the [[2011 Yemeni protests]], Tawakkol Karman organised student rallies in [[Sana'a]] in protest against the long-standing rule of Saleh's government. On 22 January, she was stopped while driving with her husband by three plain-clothed men without police identification and taken to prison,<ref name="Filkins" /><ref name="OBS" /> where she was held for 36 hours until she was released on parole on 24 January. In a 9 April editorial that appeared in ''[[The Guardian]]'', she wrote:<ref name=Guardian1>{{cite news|author=Tawakkol, Karman|title=Our revolution's doing what Saleh can't – uniting Yemen|work=The Guardian|date=9 April 2011|accessdate=8 October 2011|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/apr/08/revolution-saleh-yemen-peace-historic}}</ref>
<blockquote>After a week of protests I was detained by the security forces in the middle of the night. This was to become a defining moment in the Yemeni revolution: media outlets reported my detention and demonstrations erupted in most provinces of the country; they were organised by students, civil society activists and politicians. The pressure on the government was intense, and I was released after 36 hours in a women's prison, where I was kept in chains.</blockquote>
She then led another protest on 29 January where she called for a "[[Day of Rage]]" on 3 February<ref name="Feb3_DayRage_aljaz">{{cite news |title=New protests erupt in Yemen |url=http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/01/2011129112626339573.html |publisher=Al Jazeera English |date=29 January 2011 |archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5w8S9MZ1r |archivedate=30 January 2011 |deadurl=no |accessdate=30 January 2011}}</ref> similar to events of the [[2011 Egyptian revolution]] that were in turn inspired by the [[Tunisian revolution|2010–2011 Tunisian revolution]].

Karman explained the reasons why the Yemeni protests attracted Yemenis: "The combination of a dictatorship, corruption, poverty and unemployment has created this revolution. It's like a volcano. Injustice and corruption are exploding while opportunities for a good life are coming to an end."<ref name=Time>{{cite news|last=Baker|first=Aryn|title=The Woman at the Head of Yemen's Protest Movement|url=http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2049476,00.html#ixzz1l5NmmmJD|accessdate=1 February 2012|newspaper=Time Magazine|date=16 February 2012|author2=Erik Stier}}</ref>
Karman has had some tense disagreements with other organisers, especially after she urged protesters to march to the Presidential Palace in May as a response to the killing of 13 protesters by security forces.<ref name="Yemen" />
On 18 June she wrote an article entitled "Yemen's Unfinished Revolution" in the ''[[New York Times]]'' in which she assailed the United States and Saudi Arabia for their support for the "corrupt" Saleh regime in Yemen because they "used their influence to ensure that members of the old regime remain in power and the status quo is maintained." She argued that American intervention in Yemen was motivated by the [[war on terror]] and was not responsive to either the human rights abuses in Yemen or the calls from Yemen’s democracy movement. She affirmed that the protesters in Yemen also wanted stability in the country and region.<ref name="nyt"/> In an interview on ''[[Democracy Now!]]'', Karman said, "In our weekly protests in front of the cabinet, we called on the government to allow people to have freedom of speech and for people to be able to own online newspapers. We knew and know that freedom of speech is the door to democracy and justice, and also that part of the freedom of speech is the freedom of movement... The culture of freedom and protests spread all over Yemen. Every time we stood up for our rights the government answered with violence or interfered in our rights...." She credited Tunisia for inspiring others around the Middle East for the Arab Spring protests.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.democracynow.org/seo/2011/10/21/exclusive_nobel_laureate_tawakkul_karman_on |title=Exclusive: Nobel Laureate Tawakkul Karman on the Struggle for Women’s Rights, Democracy in Yemen |publisher=Democracy Now! |accessdate=2013-11-22}}</ref>
During the protests, Karman was part of a large number of women activists—up to 30 percent of the protestors—demanding change in Yemen.<ref>{{cite news|author=Kalpana Sharma |url=http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/columns/Kalpana_Sharma/article2573489.ece |title=Columns / Kalpana Sharma : The Other Half: Women and the Arab Spring |work=The Hindu |date=29 October 2011 |accessdate=16 November 2011 |location=Chennai, India}}</ref> On 16 October, government snipers in Taiz shot and killed [[Aziza Othman Kaleb]], ''[[CNN]]'' reported she was the first woman to have been killed during the Yemen protests but could not verify this claim.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/17/world/meast/yemen-unrest/index.html?iref=allsearch |title=Women march in Yemen's capital |publisher=CNN |date=17 October 2011 |accessdate=16 November 2011}}</ref> Ten days later, women in Sana'a protested against the violent force used against them by burning their ''[[makrama]]''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/yemen/8853028/Yemeni-women-burn-their-veils-in-anti-government-protest-after-more-deaths-in-Sanaa.html |title=Video: Yemeni women burn their veils in anti-government protest after more deaths in Sanaa |publisher=Telegraph |date=27 October 2011 |accessdate=16 November 2011 |location=London}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://jezebel.com/5853773/yemeni-women-burn-veils-to-protest-government-crackdown |title=Yemeni Women Burn Veils To Protest Government Crackdown |publisher=Jezebel.com |date=26 October 2011 |accessdate=16 November 2011}}</ref> At the time, Karman was in Washington, D.C., where she said the female protesters who burned their makrama were "reject(ing) the injustice that the Saleh regime has imposed on them.

===Involvement of international government organizations===
After the Nobel Peace Prize announcement, Tawakkol Karman became increasingly involved in mobilizing world opinion and United Nations Security Council members to assist the protesters in ousting Saleh and bringing him before the international court.
She lobbied the United Nations Security Council and the United States not to make deal that would pardon Saleh, but instead hold him accountable, freeze his assets and support the protesters. The [[United Nations Security Council]] voted 15–0 on 21 October on [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 2014]] that "strongly condemns" Saleh's government for the use of deadly force against protesters, but it also backed the [[Gulf Cooperation Council]]'s (GCC) initiative that would give Saleh immunity from prosecution should he resign. Karman, who was present for the vote, criticised the Council's support for the GCC's proposal and instead advocated that Saleh stand trial at the [[International Criminal Court]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iH2ZeqgaMINbPDDzaRbqtKeP0S6w?docId=CNG.e1771690f71c3d2c94aa0c8833fbddc0.361 |title=AFP: UN Council calls on Saleh to hand over power |publisher=Google |date=21 October 2011 |accessdate=16 November 2011}}</ref>
Karman also met the United States' Secretary of State [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] on 28 October to discuss the same United Nations Resolution, to which Clinton said "the United States supports a democratic transition in Yemen and the rights of the people of Yemen – men and women – to choose their own leaders and futures."<ref name="Clinton" /><ref name="WP">{{cite news |work=Washington Post | title=Secy Clinton Praises Yemeni Nobel Winner Calls for Revolution to Bring Democracy | url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secy-clinton-praises-yemeni-nobel-winner-calls-for-revolution-to-bring-democracy/2011/10/28/gIQAT7fdPM_story.html | date=28 October 2011 | accessdate=15 November 2011 | deadurl=yes}} {{Dead link|date=November 2011|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}</ref> Karman responded to the comment through the Yemini press by saying, "in Yemen, it has been nine months that people have been camped in the squares. Until now we didn't see that [[Barack Obama|Obama]] came to value the sacrifice of the Yemeni people. Instead the American administration is giving guarantees to Saleh."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://yemenpost.net/Detail123456789.aspx?ID=3&SubID=4252&MainCat=3 |title=Yemeni Activist Tawakkul Karman Takes on the White House- Yemen Post English Newspaper Online |publisher=Yemen Post |accessdate=16 November 2011}}</ref>
Saleh signed the Gulf Cooperation Council's plan 23 November 2011 in [[Riyadh]], Saudi Arabia. Saleh would transfer his powers to Vice President [[Abd al-Rab Mansur al-Hadi]] to start a political transition, according to the terms of the agreement.<ref name=resigns>{{cite news|last=Finn|first=Tom|title=Yemen president quits after deal in Saudi Arabia|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/23/yemen-president-quits?intcmp=239|accessdate=2 December 2011|newspaper=The Guardian (U.K.)|date=23 November 2011}}</ref>
