CAGEAD Empowers 30 Female GBV survivors in Boyo.

As part of the commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflicts 2026, CAGEAD prioritized economic empowerment to combat Sexual exploitation and abuse in local communities in Boyo Division.

Poverty identified as a root cause of Sexual Violence within the conflict in the Northwest region also doubles as the major cause of the poor financial state of many families. With the burden hanging on the head of many female survivors of the conflict who have children to feed, provide shelter, education, clothing, pads, and other basic necessities, they are pushed to remain silent in incidents of s*xual violence with no financial power or knowledge to fight back given our context. Some of these women and girls engaged into transactional s*x to get basic needs.

CAGEAD identified this problem and intervened through the provision of some food items for feeding and for small businesses to raise finances that can cater for needs subsequently. Beneficiaries expressed profound gratitude and thanks to CAGEAD and African Women's Development Fund for thinking of them.

WAKA WAKA 4 PEACE 🌿

Yesterday, CAGEAD proudly joined women and men peacebuilders, partners, and stakeholders for the "Waka Waka 4 Peace" walk in commemoration of the 64th Pan-African Women's Day under the theme: "Driving Lasting Peace, Justice, and Empowerment Across Our Continent."

The walk served as a powerful call for peace and highlighted the indispensable role of women in peacebuilding, especially in the context of the ongoing crisis in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon.
Our journey ended at the Bamenda Central Prison, where we shared hygiene kits with female inmates, including mothers with young children. This gesture was a reminder that every woman deserves dignity, hope, and the assurance that she is not forgotten regardless of where she finds herself. Many of these women have been affected directly or indirectly by the conflict, and together we stood in solidarity with them.

As we celebrate Pan-African Women's Day, let us continue to champion peace, justice, and the empowerment of women across our communities. Together, we can build a future where no woman is left behind.
