In Bangem, VCF Cameroon supported vulnerable children and young single mothers with hygiene materials, not just as aid, but as protection. Because preventing exploitation and abuse sometimes begins with meeting basic needs like soap, dignity and care.
#ChildProtection#PreventGBV
Smiles from mothers & grandmothers in Bangem tell a powerful story. Adolescent girls are growing in confidence through our peer-led life skills & mentorship program. When girls thrive, families & communities grow stronger.

We continue to #CatchThemYoung by taking awareness and prevention messages into secondary and technical schools in Bangem. By engaging young people early, we equip them with life skills, promote safety, and help prevent harm before it happens.
The 16 Days of Activism may be over, but GBV prevention continues. At VCF Cameroon, we use creative, child-friendly approaches to educate young minds on respect, safety, & equality- building safer communities by reaching children early. Protecting girls today protects our future.
Yesterday, VCF Cameroon joined partners at the WEFC Buea for the closing of the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV. We shared experiences, challenges, CSO reports, and key recommendations, capped with a powerful panel discussion on this year’s theme. The fight continues. 🧡

#16DaysOfActivism
VCF Cameroon today joined partners & students at the University of Buea for a 16 Days of Activism march against GBV. The event highlighted collective action & solidarity to raise awareness, support survivors, and promote a culture of non-violence and dignity for all.
In Bangem, VCF introduced young learners to GBV prevention in fun, child-friendly ways - identifying private body parts, learning boundaries, and knowing who to tell. Their enthusiasm showed the power of early education. Every child deserves safety and a voice. #16DaysOfActivism
