HAPPY PRESS FREEDOM DAY.

Journalists risk their lives often with little or no pay to inform, educate, and keep the world aware. Too often, their voices are silenced through censorship, intimidation, and digital attacks that prevent them from fulfilling their vital role. Yet, driven by passion, dedication, and a commitment to truth, many continue to stand firm, reporting facts with courage and integrity.
On this World Press Freedom Day, we recognize their sacrifices and renew the call to protect press freedom. A truly democratic society depends on the safety, independence, and voices of journalists everywhere.

Les journalistes risquent leurs vies souvent avec peu de ou aucune rémunération afin d'informer, éduquer, et édifier le monde. Trop souvent, leurs voix sont réduites au silence par la censure, l'intimidation, et les attaques en ligne qui les empêchent de jouer leur rôle vital. Toutefois, poussés par la passion, le dévouement, et un engagement en faveur de la vérité, plusieurs continuent de faire preuve de fermeté, rapportant les faits avec courage et intégrité.
En cette Journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse, nous reconnaissons leurs sacrifices et renouvelons l'appel pour la protection de la liberté de la presse. Une société véritablement démocratique dépend de la sécurité, l'indépendance et des voix des journalistes partout.

From the arid landscapes of Maroua in the Far North Region to the lush hills of Bamenda in the Northwest and the cultural hub of Buea in the Southwest, a movement is gaining momentum. United Youths Organization (UYO), in partnership with Association Civic Watch Cameroon, ARDHU, and HUPED, has been igniting conversations on digital rights and youth empowerment.

Through three regional advocacy dialogues, they've delved into pressing issues: digital access needs, local policy gaps hindering youth internet access, and barriers to governance participation. The discussions have been candid, focusing on civic participation, inclusive leadership, and charting a path for impactful advocacy.

Building on this momentum, the Cameroon National Youth Council, UYO, and partners are set to host a pivotal one-day National Inclusive Advocacy Conference. This landmark event will showcase findings and recommendations from the regional dialogues, with a clear call to action for government and stakeholders to address gaps and champion digital rights, political engagement, and democratic participation.

The conference is more than a gathering; it's a call to empower Cameroon's youth and shape the nation's digital future.
