🎒📚 HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL! LET’S MAKE SAFETY AND PREVENTION PART OF EVERY SCHOOL DAY 🌱

As schools reopen for a new academic year, Gender Empowerment and Development (GeED) warmly wishes all schools, students, parents, teachers, school administrators and our valued partners a HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL and a successful, peaceful and productive academic year!** 🎓✨

A new school year is a new opportunity to learn, grow, dream and build a better future. But academic success goes hand in hand with a SAFE, HEALTHY and supportive learning environment.

🛡️ PREVENTION STARTS FROM DAY ONE

Preventing violence, drug abuse, bullying, s*xual and gender-based violence and other harmful behaviours should not wait until a problem occurs.

Starting prevention measures from the very beginning of the school year is a step towards success throughout the year.

Schools, parents, students and communities all have a role to play.

One practical preventive measure schools can consider is SYSTEMATIC and RESPECTFUL CHECKING OF STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL ENTRANCE.c, in accordance with school rules and applicable safeguarding procedures. Such measures can help discourage students from bringing drugs, weapons or other prohibited and harmful items into the school environment.

However, prevention is not only about searching bags or enforcing rules. It is also about education, trust and reminding every student of their VALUE ❤️

🌟 REMIND EVERY STUDENT: “YOU ARE VALUABLE!”

Every girl and every boy deserves to hear:

You matter.
Your future matters.
Your education matters.
Your body deserves respect.
Your dreams are worth protecting.
You have the power to make positive choices.

When students understand their value and are supported by caring adults, they are better equipped to resist peer pressure, reject drugs and violence, seek help when they face danger, and make responsible decisions.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 TO PARENTS Keep talking with your children. Listen without immediately judging. Create a safe space where girls and boys can discuss their concerns, friendships, online experiences, relationships, peer pressure and other challenges.

👩‍🏫 **To teachers and school administrators:** Let prevention, safeguarding and student wellbeing remain part of the daily school culture.

🤝 To GeED partners: Let us continue working together to strengthen safe schools and communities where every child can learn, grow and thrive.

🎒 As we begin this academic year, let prevention begin with us—early, consistently and together.

A safe school is not created by rules alone. It is built through awareness, vigilance, positive values, open communication and collective responsibility.

🌱 GeED wishes all schools and partners a peaceful, safe and successful academic year

Together, let us protect children, prevent violence, prevent drug abuse and empower every student to believe in their worth and their future. 💙

🎓✨ GRADUATION TODAY, FUTURE TOMORROW!

On 02 September 2026, GeED was delighted to join its partner institutionGBTHS MEWOULOU in celebrating students who successfully passed the GCE and BACC examinations. 🎉👏

As part of the celebration, GeED reminded graduates that “Your Digital Footprint is Your First CV!” 📱💻

What you post, share, like and comment online can shape how others see you. Students were encouraged to think before they post, protect their privacy, use social media responsibly, and build a positive online identity that reflects their talents and aspirations.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A special message to parents: Keep the conversation going!

GeED encouraged parents to maintain **open, respectful and age-appropriate conversations with both girls and boys** on relationships, personal safety, s*xual and reproductive health, peer pressure, social media and responsible decision-making.

Because **education does not end at the school gate—guidance, communication and support at home matter too.** ❤️

Congratulations to all the graduates! 🎓🌟
**Your future is yours to build. Make it count—both offline and online!**

The rising rate of femicide in Cameroon is a serious call for concern.
Within just one week, reports of eight women losing their lives in tragic circumstances, allegedly at the hands of intimate partners.
We cannot always say that warning signs are invisible. In many situations, controlling behaviour, threats, intimidation, violence, isolation, and other red flags may appear before the situation becomes fatal.
To every woman who feels unsafe: do not ignore the warning signs. Learn to step back when necessary, speak up, seek help, and report threats or violence to a trusted person, community leader, or the appropriate authorities.
To families, friends, neighbours, and communities: listen, support, and take reports of violence seriously. Prevention requires all of us.
Your life matters. Your safety matters. Speak up. Seek help. Stay safe.

CELEBRATING EVERY JOURNEY, EVERY EFFORT, EVERY DREAM

As students receive their examination results, Gender Empowerment and Development (GeED) celebrates everyone who played a role in this important journey.

To all teachers and school administrators, thank you for your dedication, patience, knowledge, and guidance in supporting this year’s candidates. Your commitment goes beyond the classroom. You are truly nation builders.

To every student who succeeded, congratulations! Your hard work and perseverance have paid off. Keep striving for excellence and continue to believe in your potential.

And to those who did not achieve the results they hoped for, remember: one result does not define your future. Failure is not defeat; it is an opportunity to learn, grow, improve, and try again.

Take the lessons, gather your strength, put in more effort, and keep moving forward. A brighter future is still ahead of you.

Whether you are celebrating today or preparing for another opportunity, remember that your journey continues, and your dreams remain valid.

Congratulations to all successful candidates, and courage to those preparing for another chance.

As a parent or Guardian what makes it difficult or uncomfortable for you to discuss s*x education with your child?

The Dangers of Peer Pressure
Peer pressure is one of the easiest ways to become involved in situations that can have lifelong consequences. Many young people and students begin using drugs simply because they want to fit in or impress their friends.
Remember, just one try can lead to repeated use, addiction, and serious physical, emotional, and social consequences. Breaking free from drug addiction can be extremely difficult.
Choose your friends wisely. Surround yourself with people who encourage you to make positive decisions and support your goals.
Stay safe. Say no to drugs. Avoid bad company, and protect your future.

Empowering young girls with accurate knowledge and building their confidence to make informed, safe, and responsible decisions about their s*xuality, reproductive health, and relationships is essential to their well being and future.

When girls are informed and empowered, they are better equipped to protect themselves from gender based violence, unintended and early pregnancy, s*xually transmitted infections (STIs), and harmful social practices.

Be there to educate, guide, listen, and support young girls. Together, we can empower them to make informed choices, protect their rights, and build healthier, safer, and brighter futures.

The Power of Parent-Child Communication

One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is your time and your attention.

Communication is more than giving instructions or correcting mistakes. It’s about building a relationship based on trust, respect, and understanding. When children know they can talk to their parents without fear, they are more likely to share their concerns, seek guidance, and make positive choices.

Take time each day to have meaningful conversations. Ask questions like:
“What was the best part of your day?”
“How did that make you feel?”

Listen without interrupting. Put away distractions, maintain eye contact, and let your child know their thoughts and feelings matter.

Remember, your words and tone have a lasting impact. Speak with kindness, even when correcting mistakes. Children who feel heard, loved, and respected grow into confident individuals who are not afraid to seek help when they face life’s challenges.

Strong communication builds strong families. Start the conversation today. ❤️
