Since 2010, Cameroon has faced conflicts in the Extreme North, Northwest, and Southwest Regions, deeply affecting its people, especially women. In response, inspired by UNSCR 1325, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the principle of inclusivity, 17 Cameroonian women underwent a week-long training in conflict resolution, mediation, and negotiation by Africans Rising and ActionAid Kenya.
On August 16, 2019, these women voluntarily established the Cameroon Women’s Peace Movement (CAWOPEM) to address the nation’s challenges through inclusive security and forward-looking solutions. The Movement operates under Cameroon’s Law No. 92/006 of August 1992 and its implementing decree No. 92/455/PM of November 23, 1992, governing associations and movements.
We are dedicated to fostering peace by empowering women to take the lead in conflict resolution and sustainable development.
The foundation of our work and the values that define us.
We believe that diverse voices strengthen peace, and every woman deserves a seat at the table
Every woman has the potential to transform her community and inspire lasting change.
We overcome adversity together, building strength in unity and hope.
True change happens when we work hand in hand, breaking barriers and building trust.
Whether through volunteering, donating, or advocating, there are many ways to contribute to our mission. Together, we can build a peaceful Cameroon.
