Consent must be clear, free, informed, and reversible. Silence isn’t consent. Pressure isn’t consent.
Being in a relationship isn’t consent.
Respect boundaries. Always.

Support is available.
Survivors of sexual violence can access helplines, medical care, legal aid, and community support services. No one should walk this journey alone.

Real strength is measured by the support you offer, not the silence you keep. A supportive man helps dismantle menstrual stigma, ensuring dignity for all menstruators. Be a champion for period dignity.

Over the last 2 days, we had the privilege to join the Women-Led Organisations’ Capacity Strengthening Workshop organized by #UNFPA #Cameroon, with expert facilitators from #UNFPAWCARO. This transformative experience deepened our understanding of what it takes to build.

This week, Lead Child Africa completed the MHPSS Minimum Service Package (MSP) Training online sessions, an enriching experience that strengthens our capacity to integrate MHPSS in humanitarian & development work.
Grateful to @UNFPA, MHPSS TWG & FOMCAM for the excellent facilitat
Storytelling shapes young minds! In our upcoming GBV sessions, movies will spark discussion, create safe spaces, build empathy & connect lessons to real life. Change starts when we meet youth where they are. #ChildProtection #EndGBV #StorytellingForChange #SafeSchools

This is 28.🎉💕🙏🏾
Little Margaret in the background, feels proud of her growth. She continues to observe, and I keep reminding her of her innocence and her longing to show love and achieve greatness.
Happy Birthday to Me 🙂↔️🎉🦋
Films spark empathy. Documentaries give evidence.
To end School-Related Gender-Based Violence, we need both the heart and the mind.
We have definitely seen a need for both, thus we’re blending storytelling to create safer schools for every child.
We need your support!!

Did you know? In Southwest Cameroon, too many girls enter schools with fear instead of hope.
SRGBV isn’t just stats , it’s silenced voices, broken dreams, and stolen futures.
We’re using films to spark dialogue, amplify voices, and build safer schools.
At Lead Child Africa, we’re launching a film-based approach to:
- Spark awareness and dialogue
- Amplify learner voices
- Inspire collective action for safe, inclusive schools
For too long, children and youth have walked into classrooms filled with fear instead of hope.
🩸 Today is #MenstrualHygieneDay 🩸At Lead Child Africa, we remember a young girl who used toilet tissue for her first period.
It soaked through.
It tore apart.
She left a trail on her way home of blood, shame, and silence.
1 in 10 girls in Africa still miss school due to periods.
That’s why we act.
We provide pads.
We educate.
We create safe spaces.
Because menstruation should never hold a girl back.

Today, we celebrate the strength, dreams, and rights of every child in Cameroon.
At Lead Child Africa, we are driven by a simple belief:
No child should face what we once did. We’re building a future where children are protected, educated & empowered. #EveryChildMatters
14-year-old Ella's first period led to isolation and assault. This #MenstrualHygieneDay, empower girls like Ella with our Red Pride Project. We're providing dignity packs, education, and safe spaces. Because no girl should face this alone. linkedin.com/posts/lead-chil…

We fight against sexual & gender-based violence not just to end harm, but to restore dignity, choice & power. The true joy of empowerment is seeing women rise: financially stable, self-reliant, fearless. That’s the victory we strive for. #EndGBV #Menengage #WomenEmpowerment
During our Empowering Communities to Combat Rape and Support Survivors project in Yaoundé, we had the most heartwarming and eye-opening sessions with pupils. Let me tell you, kids are not just listening—they're engaging!
A very short thread:
“Can someone young like me rape someone?”
Yes. Respect for others starts now.
“What if I think my friend is being hurt?”
Speak up. Your voice could save them.
It was emotional. It was beautiful. When we create safe spaces, children show up with open hearts and curious minds.
