2014

A joint Government-United Nations programme on the fight against gender-based violence entitled "Accelerating the prevention of gender-based violence and the holistic care of survivors in the most affected regions of Cameroon" was developed by 8 UN agencies and co-signed with the Ministry for the Promotion of Women and the Family in 2014. This programme aimed to contribute to the development of Cameroonian women and men, girls and boys, through a developed social protection base, particularly with regard to the promotion and protection of women's/girls' rights; a framework in which socio-cultural burdens are reduced and in which women and girls are free from all forms of discrimination and gender-based violence while men are positively involved in the fight against these scourges; increased and equitable access for the most vulnerable categories to health, legal, judicial, educational, psychosocial and economic services; the production of knowledge on the typology of violence during the life cycle, the root causes of this violence and approaches to solutions.
