Women Empowerment

Various studies, as well as our experience, have shown that when we work towards womenempowerment, the whole society benefits. But unfortunately in African in general, far frombeing empowered, most women are denied even their basic rights like health, education,employment and a respectable status in society.

According to a recent UNDP Human Development Report, Cameroon has an imbalanced sexratio, the chief reason being rampant female infanticide and sex-selective abortions.

CEWA organizes programmes specifically aimed at realization of both individual and collectiveself-esteem and inner strength for marginalized and socially excluded women and adolescentgirls through innovative community practices.

The programme identifies adolescent girls and women from the community and develops theminto Change Agents, who in turn actively contribute to the community mobilization process.
