It was a pleasure for our organization YAPCEC to have joined on the invitation from Centre for Youth and Family Empowerment (CEYOFE) in partnership with Ministère de la Promotion de la Femme et de la Famille MINPROFF that brought together traditional rulers, community leaders, administrative authorities, partners and men from across the South West Region in Buea for a Workshop on Gender-Based Violence and Positive Masculinity.

The training was focused to ensure men become part of the solution on the fight againstgender base violence, while creating a safe space for them to speak openly about the pressures they face and what is driving violence in their homes.

Also Positive masculinity wasis not weakness. It is leading without intimidation, loving without control and resolving conflict without violence. A man's strength is measured not by the fear he commands, but by the safety and dignity he brings to others.
The workshop is part of the second phase of CEYOFE's flagship project titled Strengthening Local Development Structures and Grassroots Women for Transformative Implementation of UNSCR1325 in the South West Region funded by AFD - Agence Française de Développement in partnership with AND Peace consortium in Central Africa.This phase has also trained traditional rulers and rural women mediators and provided economic empowerment kits to women.
