Promoting Gender Justice and Women’s Empowerment in Cameroon

About Us

The Cameroon Association for Women’s Rights and Justice (CAWRJ) is a women-led, non-profit, and non-partisan human rights organization dedicated to defending, promoting, and protecting the rights of women and girls in Cameroon. Founded in January 2020, CAWRJ was established to respond to gender inequality, discrimination, and violence against women and girls, particularly in conflict-affected regions.

Rooted in feminist values, we work to empower women, promote justice, and create lasting change in communities by advocating for legal reforms, providing free legal aid, offering psycho-social support to survivors of violence, and fostering women’s leadership in all spheres of life.
