I was related to receive an email that I was an Awardee of a World Pulse spirit Award as an activator. I have been on World Pulse since October 2018 and it’s so good to be on such a sisterhood platform where your voice and story matter.
Check out more on the announcement in the below instagram post, and you might want to register for the virtual celebration and also get to know more about World Pulse
It starts from Me Ending Sexual Violence/Rape Campaign
Each month, hundreds of cases of rape and sexual assaults are being talked about and we know these appalling crimes of sexual violence/rape is being committed against our sisters/brothers, daughters/sons and babies. These heinous acts have caused some fatalities as young as 3 months old and three quarters of survivors of this distressing involvement are under the age of 15.
Despite the trauma involved many cases of rape and sexual violence still go unreported as families and communities practice a culture of silence or indifference about sexual violence/rape leaving victims devastated.
In Cameroon there are no safe homes/shelters for victims/survivors and medical treatment is unaffordable to many of them.
The N4SHE found that institutional practices and traditions can lead to a highly unsafe environment rarely challenged by our society. The society has miserably failed to educate and evolve to always pass the blame on the victims thereby communicating to victims that violence is a ‘normal’ feature of life. Schools, therefore, can be breeding grounds for potentially damaging rape culture which remain with pupils into adult life. Yet, with appropriate intervention, schools can provide an enabling environment for the prevention of sexual violence/rape.
The main objective of this campaign is to raise awareness and sensitize parents, teachers and communities at large to make use of the three Rs “RECOGNISE, RESPOND, REPORT” in children who are victims of sexual violence.
The target population is parents/teachers & community stakeholders across the nation.
So, do you want to join the campaign raise awareness, sensitize and normalize the conversation around rape? We are just a WhatsApp away
#mentalhealthawareness so beautifully captured in this poster by my friend and Global Mental Health Peer Network executive from Zimbabwe Angelica Mkorongo. Are we really doing enough? Are we even talking enough? Are we even listening enough? #mentalhealthmatters let’s keep talking and sculpting and painting and singing and dancing and shouting and marching …about it. #thereishope #bethehope.
A message of hope from my own mother Bibiana Taku on the first mental health matters open day organized by @Hope for the Abused and Battered last week. For the first time since my return, I watched and listened to my mum talk about the loss of her beloved only son Gaby Mindful, and other challenges in her own life which have moulded her into the heroine she is today. Thank you mama https://youtu.be/hut-X2azGgM
