During this quarter, GLOWA made significant progress in advancing its empowerment program for survivors of child sex and labour trafficking in the North-West Region of Cameroon. A total of 120 survivors participated in trauma-informed psychosocial support, life-skills coaching, and entrepreneurship sessions. From these, 45 women and youths successfully launched micro-businesses in tailoring, horticulture and digital crafts. A legal aid clinic was also established and facilitated case resolutions for 32 survivors, while referral pathways were strengthened with community health and social welfare services. Community sensitization campaigns reached over 2,400 residents in five conflict-affected villages, promoting awareness, early reporting and stigma reduction. Strategic partnerships with local agribusinesses and market cooperatives are enabling inclusive supply-chain opportunities for survivor-led ventures. Monitoring results show a 28% increase in economic stability and improved confidence among participants. Persistent challenges include transport disruptions, insecurity and limited internet access. Next quarter will prioritize digital literacy, market linkages and cooperative formation for sustainability.
