International day of peace 2026
As we celebrate the international day of peace, may we be reminded that peace starts with you. You can't be at war with yourself and pretend to bring peace around you. While our communities go through all sorts of abuses, we remain silent and watch. Is that peace? Let's strive to make peace our personal affair, building it from within and spreading it to others for a long lasting peace.
According to you, what stops us from achieving peace?

On 12 September, Mme Nicoline Awumbom, the South West regional coordinator represented NEWOLEC at the recent South West meeting on femicide and gender-based violence as felegd

At the close of the meeting, three main areas of action were agreed upon:

1. Advocacy and awareness: Participants committed to taking conversations on GBV and femicide into their own families, WhatsApp groups and other spaces within their reach. The idea is to move the conversation beyond meetings and begin building awareness and prevention within our everyday environments.

2. Conference on GBV/Femicide: A conference is being proposed, bringing together relevant stakeholders for deeper engagement on GBV and femicide. Following the conference, a task force is expected to be constituted to carry the work forward. Organisations were invited to indicate where they would like to contribute, and I indicated NEWOLEC's interest in the Conference. The planning committees are yet to be constituted.

3. March against Femicide: A public march against femicide is also being proposed. Organisations and participants were invited to contribute towards making the different activities possible, with some already indicating possible contributions such as halls and other resources.

NEWOLEC's participation in the conference presents a good opportunity, particularly as we are rebuilding the South West branch. Once the committee is constituted and the details become clearer, we can involve other interested NEWOLEC members and agree on how we participate and who represents us at the different stages.

NEWOLEC 2026: IT WASN’T JUST A CONFERENCE. IT WAS A FORCE. ⚡🔥 Watch it
Captured by Joel Studio

Yaoundé. 27 August 2026. National conference of women led organisations 2026

The prestigious Palais des Congrès, a place of elegance, prestige and great moments—opened its doors.

And over 500 women walked in.

But they did not come simply to attend a conference.

They came with AUDACITY.
They came with IMPACT.
They came with INFLUENCE.
They came with DREAMS.
They came with HOPE.

The room was full.

The atmosphere was hot.

And the energy? ELECTRIC! ⚡

Women leaders listened to speakers and panelists with almost "mathematical precision" absorbing every word, every idea, every challenge, every possibility.

There were songs.

There were stories.

There were dreams.

There were hopes.

There was laughter.

There was emotion.

And above all, there was a powerful sense that something bigger was happening in that room.

Then came the YAOUNDÉ DECLARATION.

A commitment.

A promise.

A collective voice.

Over 500 women pledged to move together, to strengthen the rights of women and girls, and to turn words into action.

Thematic working groups were born.

The work did not end when the curtains closed.

The work had only begun.

And then came the awards—crowning an unforgettable celebration of women who lead, serve, inspire and create impact. 🏆

Our formidable English and French MCs kept the energy alive.

Our partners stood with us.

And our incredible host; the international, multiple award-winning women’s rights advocate and leadership coach, Dr Solange Swiri Tumasang Shine Shine , brought together partners, women leaders and changemakers to make the vision a reality.

And behind it all?

NEWOLEC.

Our members gave their time.

Their energy.

Their passion.

Their strength.

Their very best.

Together, we created something unforgettable.

NEWOLEC 2026 was not just an ordinary moment.

It was EXTRAORDINARY.

It was a gathering of women who dared to believe that when women come together, change becomes possible.

And now…

WE LOOK TO 2028.

Back at the prestigious Palais des Congrès, we will meet again.

Not just to remember.

But to evaluate.

To assess.

To measure the progress of our thematic working groups.

To celebrate what has been achieved.

And to ask the most important question:

❓HOW FAR HAVE WE COME?

NEWOLEC 2026 gave us the momentum.

The Yaoundé Declaration gave us the commitment.

The thematic working groups gave us the roadmap.

2028 will show us the results.

🎬 Turn up the volume. Watch the trailer. Relive the energy.

NEWOLEC 2026 — AUDACITY. IMPACT. INFLUENCE.

500+ WOMEN.
ONE COLLECTIVE VOICE.
ONE DECLARATION.
ONE MOVEMENT.

The story has only just begun.

See you in 2028
