In preparation for the sixty-second session of the Commission on the Status of Women, Women for a Change, Cameroon (Wfac), in collaboration with UN Women and FEMNET are organising a National Rural Women’s Convening in Yaoundé, Cameroon on February 6 – 7, 2018; under the priority theme: “Challenges and Opportunities in achieving gender equality and the empowerment of rural women and girls”.

The national convening is designed to ensuring that rural women and girls are actively involved and engaged in the national discussions and preparations of the CSW. Over 100 rural women and girls and groups, communities and networks would be consulted to define Cameroon’s rural women’s priorities for the CSW62. This meeting would fit in the broader picture of pre-CSW conferences held regionally and globally. The meeting will be interactive and informal while also being a safe and closed space to allow for frank and sensitive discussions.

Any questions and/or clarifications can be emailed to Zoneziwoh Mbondgulo-Wondieh at: director@wfaccameroon.org cc’d emmanuel.nm.official@gmail.com
