Eighteen vulnerable indigenous women and girls from Ashong in Momo Division, North-West Region, have gained valuable skills in chin chin production, along with improved knowledge in record-keeping, financial management, savings, and the importance of developing alternative sources of income.

This ego therapy activity organized by Wacameroon Ngo strengthened their resilience, built confidence, reduced financial dependence, and contributed to lowering the risk of GBV among women and girls in the Mbororo community.
Supported by UNFPA Cameroon and funded by EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid (DG ECHO), this activity also served as a trauma and stress relief initiative, promoting emotional healing and overall well-being.

The excitement and enthusiasm were evident on the participants’ faces. Many shared that although they had eaten chin chin before, they had never witnessed how it is made.In the words of Ajara: “I have finally found something that can generate income for me and my children.”

Participants expressed their sincere appreciation promising to use the knowledge gained to generate income and achieve financial stability. As the session ended, many shared that they felt lighter and more hopeful, encouraged by the realization that with little capital, they can begin producing chin chin for sale and support their families. At WACameroon NGO we continue to carryout this ego therapy activities with women and girls GBV survivors and those at risk because “Empowering women is not just about skills it’s about restoring dignity, hope, and independence”.

Organized by WETECH in collaboration with UNFPA Cameroon and funded by the , an intensive co-creation and training workshop on Alert GBV Lite took place at the UNFPA Regional Office in Buea on the 28th of March 2026. The training attended by Wacameroon Ngo staff, aimed to strengthen reporting and referral mechanisms for survivors of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon.

This was achieved through engaging discussions, deliberations, and recommendations involving all UNFPA implementing partners (IPs), who worked together to co-create key features of Alert GBV Lite a digital tool designed to facilitate GBV reporting.

The workshop also provided a valuable opportunity to train representatives from partner organizations and stakeholders on how to use the platform effectively. Participants shared feedback on the platform’s functionality, which was carefully noted by the organizers for further improvements. In addition, the vision and operational framework of the solution were discussed, alongside a clear deployment roadmap outlining the next steps for the rollout of Alert GBV Lite.

Overall, the training was a success and came at a critical time, given the reported increase in GBV cases across the country. The introduction of a digital solution for timely reporting and referrals is expected to significantly enhance response efforts and help reduce the incidence of GBV within our communities.

WACameroon NGO staff in Ndu, through intensive community mobilization in the neighboring communities of Tukop, Fuh, and Njipkfu, brought together more than 100 women, men, and children at the Ndu Community Hall for an impactful awareness-raising session.

The session aimed to increase participants’ knowledge and understanding of GBV, its causes, consequences, and the relevant services available within the community.
Through the Mobile Safe Space, the team enhanced community acceptance by utilizing a shared space owned by the community, making it easier for participants to freely express themselves. During this exercise, 80 GBV survivors were identified and provided PSS counseling. Some cases were also scheduled for further follow-up at the WGSS.

Community members gave positive feedback and also expressed a strong desire for more educational sessions in the future.
They conveyed their gratitude to the funder, EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid (DG ECHO), and UNFPA Cameroon, through WACameroon NGO, for delivering life-saving support, especially during this period of crisis.

Today, Women in Action against Gender Based Violence, (WAG) stands united with other civil society organizations and stake holders in Bamenda to commemorate the International Day of Human Rights under the theme “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now”. The event served as an avenue to remind all present to remain steadfast and united in the fight for dignity, freedom, and justice for all.

December 10th annually is observed as International Human Rights Day, and this year marks the 76th year since the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR highlights that every person is entitled to basic human rights, which are crucial to our daily lives.

Today marks the end of the 16 Days of Activism but the not the end of the fight against GBV. Let us amplify the voices of those still striving for equality and work together to create a world where everyone’s rights are respected and protected.
Let’s work together to ensure human rights for all!

As the flames of the 16 days of Activism against Gender Based Violence Campaign continues to rage, Women in Action against Gender Based Violence was at Hot Cocoa FM 94.0 to raise awareness on the importance of the 16 days of activism like the fact that more men and boys need to join the advocacy to make sure that GBV is stamped out of our society. The team laid emphasis on the theme of this year’s celebration “responding and rebuilding after the abuse”. They also shade light on the activities of the organization inline with this theme.

At the radio, WACameroon explained their plan of action for the days ahead as the 16 days of activism continues with the aim of making the population abreast with the flow of activities so that they can fit in and fully participate in this campaign as Gender Based Violence is a societal human rights issue and affects everyone.

Wacameroon Ngo was able to carry out this Activity thanks to the support from UNFPA Cameroon and Bread for the World Germany

"Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action."

Resonating with the above saying, WAG has trained 39 women who have over the years shown genuine interest in helping the vulnerable to work as Community Based Protection Committee members (CBPCs) in Boyo, Bui and Ngoketunjia.

Engaging the CBPCs in a 2 day training per a community is part of activities under a project dubbed "Ensuring GBV Response prevention and Risk mitigation to crisis affected NW and SW" in partnership with UNFPA Cameroon under the sponsorship of United Nations CERF and Canada Aid.

Building the capacities of the CBPCs in GBV working principles,GBV forms and types and Safe referrals, some will serve in WAGs safe spaces situated in Ndop, Jakiri and Belo offering PFA and safe referrals, while others carry out sensitizations and referrals in their various communities to the safe space.

A highlight of MHD which was celebrated at WACameroon NGO on the 28th of May 2024 was the making of the Menstrual Hygiene bracelet.

The bracelet was made of 3 principal colours : Red, White and Green.

Red : Menstrual flow days
Green: ovulation
White :preparatory phase for Menstruation.

The Menstrual Hygiene bracelet as a whole serves as a global symbol for Menstruation. So next time you see anyone who wears the MH bracelets this is the message they are passing :

*Periods are nothing to hide*
* That they stand for a period friendly world*
*Together let's push back period Stigma*
