Today, Resident Coordinator, Mr Issa Sanogo , joined Minister Marie Thérèse Abena Ondoa and development partners at the roundtable, united in our mission to end violence against girls and women through the Spotlight 2.0 initiative.

This holistic approach recognizes that violence against women and girls is not only a human rights violation but also a barrier to national development.
Why this matters:

• Every $1 invested in prevention generates $5.50 in economic returns.
• The economic cost of domestic violence per survivor is 1.7 times higher than Cameroon’s GDP.

By working together, we can build safer communities, empower survivors, and unlock economic growth. Spotlight 2.0 is more than a program—it is a call to action for dignity, safety, and progress.

Join us in supporting this initiative. Together, we can make equality and protection a reality for every girl and woman.

10 December is observed annually as .
Human rights shape our everyday lives. From safety, dignity, and fairness to the freedom to speak, learn, and live without fear.
They connect us, protect us, and remind us that when one person’s rights are denied, our shared humanity is weakened.
Today, as we face new challenges and rising pushback around the world, we reaffirm a simple truth: everyone, everywhere deserves their rights.
On Human Rights Day, we stand together to protect these universal freedoms and to call for justice, equality, and respect for all.

On 27 November 2025, the International Higher School of War of Cameroon (ESIG) proudly hosted the Gender Café, organised by the Ministry of Defense in partnership with UN Women and UNDP.

Under the theme “25 Years After Resolution 1325: Celebrate and Promote the Strategic Role of Women in Peace Operations”, the event brought together nearly one hundred participants from the defense and security forces, the police, and international partners.

👩🏽‍✈️ The goal was clear:

• Raise awareness about the strategic role of women in uniform
• Identify obstacles to their participation
• Formulate recommendations to strengthen their presence and leadership

Through interactive discussions, participants highlighted women’s contributions in peacekeeping and encouraged dialogue between military personnel, police officers, and civilians.

Expected outcomes included:

• A stronger understanding of gender issues
• Context-appropriate proposals for action
• Renewed commitment from policymakers to support these initiatives

This milestone marks an important step towards building a more inclusive national strategy for peace and security in Cameroon. 🇨🇲
