Women for a Change, Cameroon

Such a lovely, diverse & inclusive space at #Beijing30 🇪🇹! This is the kind of space we want for the womxn/grrls and hope that as we think around the revitalization of @UN_CSW, we are looking at a commission that is transformative, and consists of more interactive, intersectional, intergenerational methods of work. For us at the ECCAS/CEMAC subregion, the revitalization process should : 1. Address the structural barriers including language injustice which impedes the participation of women/grrls at the CSW processes; 2. CSW must be rotatory. That’s @UN_Women in NY 🇺🇸 must not be the only @UN body to convene CSWs. Let the other UN regional headquarters/offices convene CSWs 3. UN Women should manage its own registration of participants, just as @UNFCCC does for its annual Climate Conferences. This will give autonomy to UN Women to determine flexible registration deadlines/registration procedures as well as being transparent as it will now have the possibility of generating participation lists desegregated by sex, gender, age, geography etc 4. UN Women must communicate to all host countries embassies/ consular offices accross the globe a full list of registered delegates and must demand that no VISA Fees are paid as per the agreement between UN & Host countries… Pls Share below your thoughts and inputs on the reform process of UN Women CSW commission ! We need to make sure that the transformed CSW is one that is reflective of our collective aspirations.

Gratitude immense pour cette opportunité offerte de comprendre en si peu de jour l'impact de la conférence de Beijing sur la communauté africaine en général et sur la vie des femmes en particulier mais sur le chemin qui nous reste à parcourir pour égalité plus juste. Heureux et fier d'avoir contribué au plaidoyer auprès de madame le ministre et des parties prenantes La mission continue sur le terrain #égalitédugenre #autonomisationdelafemme #wfac #beijing+30

J'ai été sélectionnée pour représenter la République du Congo lors du forum féministe d'Afrique Centrale sur Beijing+30 au Cameroun. Cet événement inédit, sur le thème « Unis dans la solidarité, Sauvegarder nos acquis, Amplifier nos voix sous le patronage de Women for a Change, Cameroon », prépare la 30e anniversaire de l'adoption historique de la Déclaration de la Déclaration et Programme d’action de Beijing (BPfA) qui aura lieu l'année prochaine (2025) et est un moment clé pour l'avenir des droits des femmes en Afrique Centrale. Ça été pour moi un honneur d'évoquer les problématiques, les défis, les lacunes, les réalisations et bien d'autres de la République du Congo sur la réalisation de cette feuille de route. A travers les expériences de chacun(e)s, nous continuons à réfléchir à comment faire bouger les choses au niveau de l'Afrique centrale. #wfac #Beijing30 #droitsdesfemmes #egalitehommefemme Women for a Change, Cameroon

Today am honored to have presented the report on Women and environment, during the Central African Beijing+30 conference organized by Women for a Change, Cameroon , and actively participated in examining the Beijing declaration, identified the gaps and challenges faced by women in the 10 countries that make up the Central African Region, outlining some strategies and recommendations that can better engage women's voices, Actions and leadership on climate related issues. It should be noted that women are the most affected during climate disasters like flood, droughts etc, and so should get fully engage in decision making processes, actions and, environmental management mechanisms that can help mitigate the impacts of climate change. #ClimateAction #environmentalprotection #genderequality #leadership #EndViolenceAgainstWomen Laura Stella Lortie-Maurel Laura Njiju Tandungang Africans Rising FEMNET - African Women's Development and Communication Network CEEAC ECCAS

Since yesterday morning and for the next three days, it is a pleasure for me to participate in the Central African Feminist Forum (Cameroon, Chad, DRC, CAR, Gabon, Guinea...) and other countries like Kenya, São Tomé and Príncipe, Benin, etc. It is a space for dialogue and action aimed at making voices heard and defending the rights of women and girls, as well as vulnerable individuals. In this period of humanitarian and climate crises where gender issues are more crucial than ever, we are gathering to discuss the progress and challenges related to the Beijing Platform in our respective countries. This platform, adopted in 1995, remains a fundamental pillar for the emancipation and empowerment of women and gender equality. She reminds us that every woman, every girl, deserves to live in a world where her rights are respected and where she can reach her full potential. During this forum, alongside experts like Monique Kwachou, PhD , Sylvie Jacqueline Ndongmo will address essential themes such as: - Girls' education and access to equitable opportunities; - The fight against gender-based violence; - Understanding the feminist movement; - Sexual rights and reproductive health; - Women's participation in political and economic decision-making. As He for She ambassadors, men also have a role to play in this fight. As allies, they have the responsibility to deconstruct stereotypes/discrimination and promote an inclusive dialogue. Everyone, wherever they are, can create an environment in which, regardless of their gender, they can thrive and contribute to a fairer world.
