A solidarity statement to the victims and families of victims of sexual violence across Cameroon this week!

#cameroonthisweek #protectthegirlchild

[YouthFORCE @YouthForce9]

Most children do not tell when they are being abused

• They were threatened with harm
• They were told no one would believe them
• They feel ashamed or think it is their fault
• They love the person and don't want trouble
• They have no words for what happened

[YouthFORCE @YouthForce9]

If a child around you has gone quiet, stopped eating, started having nightmares, or flinches around a specific adult, these are not behaviour problems.

Listen. Create a home where telling the truth is safe.
💙 Share this with every parent and teacher you know.

[YouthFORCE @YouthForce9]

9 out of 10 child abusers in Cameroon are known to the family.

Educate your children about safety with ALL adults, including family friends and relatives and protect them from ANYONE who acts inapproriately around them. #YouthFORCE #Day3

[YouthFORCE @YouthForce9]

Abuse is not just one thing.

Touching. Exposing. Grooming. Filming. Showing explicit material to a child.
All of it is abuse. All of it is a crime. A child cannot consent ��� to any of it.
Share this.

Across Cameroon and beyond, children carry stories of sexual violence often inflicted by familiar faces. This is not a rumor, it is a crisis. Why are we still allowing it? Awareness isn’t enough, action must follow. Break the silence. Join our community: https://t.co/gLcmUNiA16

Our Children are not safe and that should alarm us all!
We demand a #change in the narrative of #perpetrators of sexual violence walking free, even after being arrested.
We demand #justice.

At YouthFORCE, we don’t promote illegal abortions. We advocate for #safe, #legal access for survivors of sexual violence.

In #Cameroon, abortion is permitted in cases of rape, incest, or risk to the mother’s life/health, within legal procedures.

Access to lawful care matters.

March is full of conversations on #women but what happens after?

At YouthFORCE, we took research on sexual violence in 3 regions straight to decision-makers and the media to drive real action.

#Dialogue is not enough. #Outcomes are needed.

We celebrate the completion of our 2-year project “SOS: A Pathway to Dwindling Sexual Violence & Unsafe Abortions among Adolescent Girls in Cameroon.”

With support from @amplifyfund , we reached thousands of girls with CSE, strengthened peer advocacy through GirlFORCE,

International #WomensDay is a reminder

The call for Rights. Justice. Action. for ALL women and girls means more than one dialogue or celebration. Real change requires continuous advocacy and collective action

When we give our voices & commitment, we all gain a more just future

As an organization rooted in #ClimateAction and youth empowerment, we believe young people are not just beneficiaries of agriculture systems but co-creators of sustainable solutions.

Focus; transforming Africa’s agricultural universities to meaningfully contribute to #Growth & #development, while strengthening advisory services & last-mile delivery models.Climate-Smart Agriculture and youth-centered design were key highlights.

Some found their voice. Others found sisterhood. Family.
We set out to train peer educators. What we witnessed was healing.
Sometimes the greatest impact is the one you never planned for.

At our final GirlFORCE advocacy meeting, the girls asked for something unexpected: space to share what GirlFORCE had meant to them personally.

Some spoke about surviving sexual violence. Others said they finally found the language to name what happened and the courage to heal
