MA Social Work @leedsbeckett !! It’s been an amazing journey. I am dedicating this to my family for being so supportive. It’s also amazing to have had an amazing Practice Educator and tutor - they made the journey worthwhile!

I was pleased to meet #Mathew Smith, former Deputy Chief of Missions to the @USEmbYaounde in Berlin. Under his and embassy’s support, @HOFNACameroon’s project (https://t.co/NkTPy11WQh) remains one of the ground breaking women peace initiatives ever in the NWR of CMR.

@MWFCameroon @USEmbYaounde Keep up the great work! It’s time to be intentional about establishing social cohesion. And combating hate speech, fake news will greatly contribute in promoting that togetherness and preventing youth radicalisation and violent extremism.

JUST IN! New report.
Cameroon separation conflict: the multiple roles women are playing and the search for a peaceful resolution.

[Crisis Group @CrisisGroup]

Years of fighting between Anglophone separatists & Cameroon’s govt have hit women hard.

But women are not only victims. Some have joined the insurgency while others campaign for peace.

Drawing on 100+ interviews, we analyse their overlooked activities🧵

In supposed peace time, there still exists those forms of militarism, violence against women/girls or injustices that dehumanize others and blur the picture of “true peace”.

@JLStalon @DevelopmentNw @UNDPAfrica @UN_Cameroon @ahunnaeziakonwa @JapanGov @NouraHamladji Such initiatives shld fully engage community based grassroots organizations that have continued to provide such services (despite meagre means) in the heart of the violent conflict. @HOFNACameroon is set to support the realisation of this groundbreaking initiative

There is something so grounding about that experience when I see words I read yesterday cited in what I’m reading today. A lived linkage. Excited to meet Audre Lorde’s words on transformation & breaking the tyranny of trauma through speaking out in @alisonphipps book Me, Not You.
