DREAMS PROJECT | BAMENDA

From the Far North to Bamenda, the DREAMS journey continued.

Heart of Hope Cameroon continued the DREAMS Project wrap-up in Bamenda, bringing together participants to reflect on their learning journey and celebrate the progress made through the programme.

From digital skills and entrepreneurship to confidence-building and economic participation, the programme created space for women to learn, connect and strengthen practical skills for new opportunities.

In Bamenda, the presentation of certificates marked another important moment of recognition for the women who took part in the journey.

As the DREAMS Project moves through its final wrap-up moments, we continue to celebrate the women at the heart of this work.

DREAMS PROJECT | FAR NORTH

FROM LEARNING TO RECOGNITION.

The presentation of certificates recognised their participation in a programme focused on practical digital and entrepreneurial skills, building knowledge and confidence to navigate new opportunities.

These moments matter, not only as a celebration of what has been achieved, but as a reminder of the value of investing in women’s skills and economic participation.

Partnerships create possibilities. Collective action creates lasting change. 🤝🇨🇦🇨🇲

Honoured to have participated in the “Partners' Cocktail Reception” hosted by H.E. Mrs Marie - Claude Harvey the High Commissioner of Canada to Cameroon, bringing together partners and organisations connected to the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) 2026–2027.

As the CEO of Heart of Hope Cameroon, I believe that the strongest solutions are those built with communities, not just for communities. This gathering provided a valuable space to connect, exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships, and explore practical ways to respond to the needs and aspirations of the people we serve.

Our communities have ideas, talents, resilience, and the capacity to lead change. What they need is partnership, opportunity, and the commitment to walk with them.

Let us continue to build bridges, amplify local voices, invest in people, and turn community ideas into meaningful action.

When communities are empowered, communities become agents of their own transformation. Together, let us create hope and lasting impact. ❤️

EVERY LIFE MATTERS — STOP THE KILLING

Too many families are burying loved ones because anger, conflict, depression, jealousy, frustration or emotional pain was allowed to turn into violence.

Whether the victim is a man or a woman, every life is precious.

No argument, broken relationship, financial difficulty or personal crisis should end in murder.

At the same time, we must pay attention to those silently struggling with depression, trauma, stress, loneliness and other mental health challenges.

Sometimes the person smiling beside you is fighting a battle you cannot see.

If you are overwhelmed, angry, depressed or feel you may harm yourself or someone else, please speak to someone and seek professional support. Do not make a permanent decision because of a temporary crisis.

And when someone says, “I am not okay,” let us listen rather than judge.

Mental health challenges should never be used to justify violence, but early support, counselling and timely intervention can save lives.

If the relationship is no longer working, walk away.

If anger is taking over, seek help.

If someone threatens to kill themselves or another person, take it seriously.

A life taken can never be returned.

Let us choose dialogue over violence, support over silence and life over death.

Every woman matters.
Every man matters.
Every life matters.

STOP THE KILLING.
SPEAK UP. SEEK HELP. PROTECT LIFE.

WHEN A WOMAN IS KILLED, SILENCE CANNOT BE OUR RESPONSE

Another woman killed. Another family shattered. Another child left without a mother. Another life reduced to a headline, a police report, or a photograph shared for a few days before the country moves on.

We must stop moving on.

Across Cameroon, women continue to lose their lives at the hands of husbands, partners, former partners and people they once trusted. Behind many of these deaths are warning signs we have seen before: threats, repeated beatings, intimidation, controlling behaviour and cries for help that were ignored until it was too late.

These killings are not simply “family problems.” They are not private misunderstandings. They are acts of violence with devastating consequences for families, communities and our society.

Cameroon’s Penal Code already recognises the seriousness of taking a human life. Section 275 punishes murder with life imprisonment, while Section 276 provides severe punishment for premeditated and other aggravated forms of murder.

But there is still an important gap.

Femicide the killing of women and girls in circumstances connected to gender-based violence is not specifically recognised as a distinct offence in Cameroon’s Penal Code.

This matters because justice must go beyond punishing a perpetrator after a woman has already been buried.

We need a system capable of recognising danger before violence becomes fatal.

A woman who repeatedly reports death threats should not have to die before her complaint is taken seriously.

A survivor of domestic violence should not have to return to the same home because she has nowhere safe to go.

A woman fleeing an abusive partner should not have to choose between poverty, homelessness and violence.

And a family mourning a murdered daughter, sister, wife or mother should not have to fight endlessly for justice.

Heart of Hope Cameroon calls for stronger action to prevent femicide and protect women at risk.

We call for stronger legislation that specifically recognises femicide and gender-motivated killings; effective protection and restraining measures for women facing threats; faster investigations and prosecution of perpetrators; stronger shelters, legal assistance and psychosocial support for survivors; better documentation of femicide cases across Cameroon; and greater accountability when warning signs are reported but ignored.

We must also change the culture of silence.

When a woman says, “He threatened to kill me,” we must believe that the danger may be real.

When neighbours hear repeated violence, silence should not be the safest option.

When families know that a woman is being abused, reconciliation must never be prioritised over her safety.

And when a woman is killed, we must refuse to blame her, excuse her killer or normalise her death.

Femicide is not inevitable. It is preventable.

The law must protect women before they become statistics.

Communities must speak before another funeral is announced.

Institutions must act before another woman’s cry for help becomes her last.

Every woman has the right to live without fear.

Every woman has the right to safety.

Every woman has the right to life.

Her life matters. Her voice matters. Her safety cannot wait.

STOP FEMICIDE. PROTECT WOMEN. DEMAND JUSTICE.

🚨 HER LIFE IS NOT NEGOTIABLE: WE MUST ACT TO STOP THE KILLING OF WOMEN

Behind every woman killed is a name, a family, a story and a future that was violently taken away.

Across Cameroon, women continue to face threats, intimidation, physical abuse, stalking and violence, often at the hands of people they know and trust. Too often, the warning signs are visible long before a life is lost. Too often, the response is silence.

Heart of Hope Cameroon (HoHCa), believe that silence can no longer be an option.

Violence against women is not a "private family matter." When a woman is threatened, beaten or killed, the consequences reach far beyond one household. Children lose mothers. Parents bury daughters. Communities lose women whose dreams, talents and contributions can never be replaced.

No disagreement, jealousy, separation, insult or family conflict justifies taking a woman's life.

We must stop normalising the warning signs.

When a woman says she is afraid, believe her.

When someone threatens to kill her, take it seriously.

When violence becomes repetitive, do not tell her simply to endure it.

When she needs to leave an unsafe home, help her find safety not shame.

And when a crime is committed, justice must follow.

Our communities have a responsibility to act before another woman becomes a headline.

Parents, neighbours, traditional and religious leaders, health workers, civil society organisations and law-enforcement authorities must work together to recognise danger early, protect survivors and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable.

We must also speak directly to men and boys.

Strength is not control. Strength is not intimidation. Strength is not violence.

Real strength is knowing how to manage anger, respect another person's dignity, walk away from conflict before it becomes violent and seek help when emotions become overwhelming.

To every woman living with threats or abuse: your fear should never be dismissed. Your safety matters.

Tell someone you trust. Seek support early. Keep important documents and emergency contacts accessible. Identify somewhere safe to go if the situation becomes dangerous. If you believe your life is at risk, do not face the danger alone.

Cameroon cannot afford to become a society where the killing of women is discussed for a few days and then forgotten.

Every preventable death demands more than condolences. It demands prevention, protection, accountability and justice.

Heart of Hope Cameroon, will continue to raise our voices, support survivors, engage communities and advocate for stronger systems that protect women and girls.

Because protecting women is protecting families.
Protecting women protects communities.
Protecting women protects our future.

Enough silence.
Enough excuses.
Enough lives lost.

Speak up. Act early. Protect her life.

🚨 FEMICIDE IN CAMEROON: HOW MANY MORE WOMEN MUST DIE BEFORE WE ACT?

Cameroon is witnessing a deeply disturbing rise in the killing of women and girls because of their gender. Behind every reported case is not simply another statistic, but a woman whose life was cut short, a daughter, a sister, a mother, a friend, a colleague.

Many of these killings happen in places where women should feel safest: their own homes and relationships. Intimate partners, husbands, former partners and, in some cases, relatives are often the perpetrators.

These deaths must never be dismissed as “family problems,” “crimes of passion,” or private disagreements.

Femicide is violence. Femicide is a human rights violation. And femicide is preventable.

When warning signs are ignored, when survivors cannot access protection, when perpetrators believe they can act without consequences, and when justice is delayed, women remain dangerously exposed.

Cameroon must respond with urgency.

We need stronger legal provisions that clearly recognise and punish femicide, faster and fairer investigations, effective prosecution of perpetrators, and justice systems that place the safety and dignity of survivors at the centre.

We also need stronger protection mechanisms for women facing threats and abuse — safe shelters, accessible reporting channels, psychosocial and legal support, emergency protection, and communities prepared to intervene before violence becomes fatal.

And as a society, we must stop normalising abusive relationships, stop blaming victims, and stop remaining silent when women tell us they are afraid.

Every woman has the right to live without fear.

Every warning deserves to be taken seriously.

Every life lost should compel us to demand change.

Silence will not protect women. Action will.

FEMICIDE IS PREVENTABLE. JUSTICE IS POSSIBLE. HER LIFE MATTERS.
