The Mike Yanou Foundation joined the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and the Family Southwest Regional Delegation, UNFPA Cameroon, and fellow civil society organisations for the Advocacy Walk Against Femicide. We walked together for a world where every woman lives in safety.

Femicide is not an isolated act. It is the most extreme and final expression of a pattern that begins long before a woman is killed: the abuse that goes unreported, the cries for help that go unanswered, the silence that is mistaken for peace. In Cameroon, that pattern has reached a point that can no longer be described as anything other than a crisis. The state itself acknowledged this, declaring a national femicide emergency following August 2026, and with it a reality that shook every person paying attention: seven women killed in seven consecutive days. Not across a month. Not across a region. Seven women. Seven days. The numbers do not capture the weight of it, but they demand that we stop and say it plainly: women in Cameroon are being killed, and the pace is accelerating.

Every woman lost is a daughter, a mother, a sister, and a friend. Femicide never happens in isolation, and neither does the work of ending it.

Today we walked for the women who are no longer here, for the survivors who carry on, and for every woman who deserves to live without fear.

Violence will end when we all refuse to be silent. Speak up. Support survivors. Hold perpetrators accountable.

A safer tomorrow is possible, and we will keep walking.

The Mike Yanou Foundation is pleased to contribute to today’s online session organised by the 237 CSO Task Force Against GBV/Femicide.

Our Executive Director and Psychotherapist, Nicholine Musi, will speak on:

“Beyond Condemnation: Communicating About Femicide for Prevention and Social Change.”

The presentation will explore how communication can move beyond outrage after a woman has been killed to help communities recognise dangerous behaviour earlier, communicate responsibly, protect the dignity of victims, create safe pathways to support, and intentionally contribute to social and behavioural change.

Condemnation names the wrong—but prevention requires us to ask what our communication is producing.

World Humanitarian Day 2026 |

Today, we join the humanitarian community in honouring those who continue to show up for people and communities in moments of crisis, often under incredibly difficult circumstances.

At Mike Yanou Foundation, we believe humanitarian action begins with recognising the dignity of every person — protecting those at risk, strengthening families and communities, supporting mental health and wellbeing, and ensuring that people are not merely recipients of assistance but participants in building stronger futures.

As we mark World Humanitarian Day, we celebrate humanitarian workers everywhere, especially those serving within their own communities.

May we continue to — with courage, compassion and respect for human dignity.

Happy World Humanitarian Day!

Following the visit of the UNFPA Cameroon Deputy Representative to Cameroon, Samuel Kissi, to the South West Region, it was a pleasure for the Mike Yanou Foundation to be part of local organizations in the region to welcome him on his ground assessment.

His visit aimed to the region, is to connect with local implementing partners (IPs), assess operational capacities, and observe the impact of grassroots interventions partners.

Commending the partners for their resilience and adaptability, Mr. Kissi urged close collaboration with UNFPA to reinforce resource mobilization strategies, encourage partnerships and coalition among partners in other to improve their interventions for greater impact creation.

Gender justice. Economic development. Peace. On 27 August, MYF joins the national conversation in Yaoundé.
The Mike Yanou Foundation will be at the National Conference of Women-Led Civil Society Organizations in Cameroon, convened by NEWOLEC at the Yaoundé Conference Centre — over 300 women leaders gathering under the theme "Women-Led Organizations as Catalysts for Peace, Economic Development and Gender Justice in Cameroon."
MYF comes to this gathering with a conviction that is still rare in this space: you cannot end violence against women by working with women alone. So we do both. We support GBV survivors to rebuild their livelihoods and their sense of self — and through our BoysEngage Initiative, we champion positive masculinity, raising boys and young men across Cameroon in the spirit of HeForShe: male allies who stand with women, not over them. The kind of husbands, fathers, and neighbours a peaceful, gender-just society is made of. Prevention on one hand, restoration on the other. Families at the centre of both.
We commend NEWOLEC for building a space where women-led organizations can compare notes honestly, form real partnerships, and leave with a shared roadmap.

Today, the Mike Yanou Foundation had the privilege of contributing to the International Widows Day 2026 Virtual Conference as a panel speaker on the theme:
"Beyond Charity: Sustainable Economic Empowerment for Widows Through Cooperative Finance and Microcredit."

Our contribution focused on a simple but important message: economic empowerment works best when it is people-centred.
Access to finance matters, but so do confidence, psychosocial well-being, financial literacy, supportive relationships, and community ownership. Sustainable change happens when widows are equipped to save together, invest together, lead together, and support one another.

At the Mike Yanou Foundation, we believe that strengthening widows strengthens families, and stronger families build stronger communities.
We appreciate Almanah Hope Foundation and the organisers for creating this platform, and we look forward to continued collaboration in advancing practical, community-driven solutions that restore dignity and expand opportunities for widows across Africa.

This Friday, we will join thousands around the world to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
Substance misuse is no longer someone else's problem. It is affecting our homes, our schools, our neighbourhoods, and the future of many young people in our communities.

At the Mike Yanou Foundation, we believe that no one should be defined by a habit. Every person has worth, and every family deserves hope.
That is why we are inviting the Buea community to walk with us on 26 June as we raise awareness, encourage prevention, and remind one another that recovery begins with people who choose to help rather than push away.

Our words. Our looks. Our actions. They can open the door to recovery. Join us at 6:00 a.m. from Mile 16 Shopping Mall or Mile 18 Junction as we converge at Mile 17 before proceeding to the community programme at Buea Stadium.
Let's stand together for healthier families, safer communities, and a future where every young person knows that their life has purpose.
