🌟 My name is Constance Bilong, 21 years old, currently a senior student in Terminale C at Lycée Général Leclerc. On October 28th, I had the honor of speaking at a Thematic Café on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), organized by Ministry of Woment empowerment and Family in collaboration with international partners at Hôtel Djeuga Palace in Yaoundé. 🎤 For the first time, I wasn’t just a participant—I was a speaker. I shared my personal story, voiced my ideas, and proposed concrete recommendations to strengthen the fight against GBV. Despite the nerves of speaking in front of distinguished guests—Madam Minister of Women and the Family, the United Nations Resident Coordinator, and representatives of UN agencies—I found the courage to speak. And in doing so, I experienced both fear and liberation. 💡 My key recommendations included: Raising awareness about the impact of GBV Engaging men and boys through positive masculinity Providing psychological, medical, and legal support to survivors Promoting initiatives like: The “Ma COTA” mentorship program Advisory girl networks such as AGAB Girls Movement campaigns Public speaking training for girls to build confidence and resilience 🙏 I owe this milestone to my mentor, Ma COTA Lisette, whose unwavering support and guidance helped me discover a stronger version of myself. Her legacy lives in me, and I will strive to pass on the light and wisdom she shared. Together, let’s keep pushing forward in the fight against GBV. #GenderEquality #StopGBV #YouthVoices #GirlsMovement #Mentorship #Leadership #UNV #MINPROFF #Empowerment #LinkedInYouth #MaCOTA #AGAB

As African leaders, international partners and humanitarian organizations gather in Paris to discuss peace in the #GreatLakes region, UNICEF is sounding the alarm for the millions of #children caught up in violence. Read Gilles Fagninou statement : https://lnkd.in/eTGevHyH

Trained social workers and psychologists help them navigate the aftermath of abuse, while community mobilizers work to break the culture of silence. 📊 With over 384 community workers trained, 24 centers equipped, and 194 sites strengthened, this is more than a project—it’s a lifeline. 👉 Every child deserves to grow up safe, respected, and free from fear. 🔗 Read the full story: https://shorturl.at/GPjDO 📣 Join us.

🌍 When Health Reaches Beyond Barriers In the remote villages of the Far North Cameroon, where health centers are sometimes more than two hours away on foot, silent heroes like Ferdinand are transforming lives. Trained by UNICEF Cameroon with the financial support from European Union to treat childhood illnesses, Ferdinand travels from village to village, providing essential care to children under five. On October 23rd, he walked 15 km with two mothers and their children to ensure they received vaccinations and nutritional follow-ups. Thanks to his dedication, entire communities now have access to primary healthcare—where once there was only waiting and hope. 💙 384 community workers trained, 24 centers equipped, 194 sites strengthened: this is how UNICEF and its partners are restoring community health. 👉 A powerful reminder that impact begins where commitment meets proximity. 🔗https://shorturl.at/XpxuY Join us in supporting community health initiatives.

🩺 Investing in Girls’ Health Is Investing in Regional Stability In #Minawao refugee camp, adolescent girls—many displaced by conflict—face a silent crisis: micronutrient deficiency, especially #iron and #folic #acid, which undermines their ability to learn, grow, and thrive. UNICEF Cameroon, with support from KfW, is providing micronutrient supplements to help restore the health and dignity of these young girls. The results are tangible: improved concentration, reduced fatigue, and renewed hope. 💡 For policy makers, this is more than a humanitarian gesture—it’s a strategic investment in: Public health: Preventing anaemia and developmental delays. Education: Enhancing learning outcomes and school retention. Gender equity: Empowering girls to become agents of change. 📊 Evidence shows that #micronutrient interventions are among the most cost-effective tools in global health. In fragile contexts like #Minawao, they are a lifeline. 👉 We call on government leaders, health ministries, and development partners to integrate adolescent girls' nutrition into national health strategies and refugee response plans. #PolicyForChange #AdolescentHealth #Micronutrients #UNICEF #GirlsEmpowerment #PublicHealthStrategy #Minawao #InvestInGirls #CameroonLeadership

Like many adolescent girls in the north-west and south-west regions of #Cameroon, Emmanuella felt abandoned. These two regions have been plagued by a sociopolitical crisis since 2017. Due to the crisis, Emmanuella was unable to continue going to school. Thanks to TeenAlive Association, an NGO supported by UNICEF Cameroon and EU in Emergencies, she has regained hope. She is now more confident and trains others to help them overcome their challenges. She is now a leader. #Adolescents #GirlsEmpowerment #Leadership
