Sensitization on Anti-Bullying, Peace Talks, and “Knowing my Body”
(September 2024-February 2025)
In 2024, we carried out mostly cost-free activities which involved sensitization in schools and in churches in the East and Centre regions, precisely in Bertoua and Yaounde. The activities include anti-bullying, peace talks, “knowing my body” etc. Some of the schools we worked with include: Le Levant Bilingual College, St Gabriel Private Bilingual College, Orient Bilingual College, Hope Baptist College, Zutochi Bilingual Comprehensive College Bertoua, and Shakespeare Bilingual College Yaounde. We equally worked with youth groups in churches like Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (Bertoua, and Yaounde) and Holy Ghost
Objectives
The objectives of these sensitization talks were aimed at:
- Creating awareness among young people on menstrual sanitation.
- Getting them to learn how to care for the body
- Demystifying the myth of sex education and reproductive health amongst teenagers.
- Discourage bullying in all its forms and highlighting some consequences on both the bully and the bullied.
- Create awareness on the need to resolve conflicts peacefully through peace talks.
Achievements
- Teenagers could talk openly about their problems and difficulties concerning menstrual hygiene.
- Students were able to share ideas amongst themselves about particular cases they faced and how to go about them.
- Group leaders were appointed to head group activities, helping them to bring out their potentials as leaders, which they never knew they possessed.
