On the 29th of April 2022, the Executive Director of Working for Our Well-being Cameroon received at the organizations headquarters the representatives of AGCS PLUS and COALITION PLUS
They talked on a handful of issues concerning work being done. The ED presented the vision and objectives of WFW, which since its creation is to work for the well-being of sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQI) community and most especially those of the English-speaking regions that have little or no representation in terms of organizations taking care of them and who very often have no assistance in the face of multi form violence and GBVs.
He went ahead to present to them the various activities and services offered by WFW, including legal, medical, nutritional and social assistance, and the shelter. He added that many LGBTQI people do not have access to education due to stigmatisation in educational facilities which results to majority of them dropping out from school this breeding unemployment and lack of jobs.
He did reiterate his willingness to see the entire Community being motivated and empowers by either continuing with their education or learning a vocation that will help them face some of the challenges of the society in general.
The representatives of the different organisation praised the bravery, involvement and determination of WFW and it’s entire staff for its continuous advocacy for the well-being of LGBTQI persons and especially its creativity and innovations.
They however were very satisfied and made suggestions on how to raise awareness and re-educate young LGBTQI people on safety (love and sexual relationships), and suggested that the organisations should go closer to people and partners that work in relations to the work they do as this could bring many opportunities that could be beneficial in supporting and accompanying WFW in its vision.
