Advocate Women and girls rights

Advocates protect and expand economic and educational access and opportunities for rural women and girls who lack the means and resources to do so.

LISAC works to empower women to know and claim their rights with the aim of increasing their well-being and their status in a sustainable way.

Throughout history, women have been discriminated against and have generally enjoyed fewer political, legal, social, and economic rights and opportunities than men.

Today, discrimination against women continues to be widespread and can be found in every rural community and region of Cameroon. Some of the challenges women faces are:

• HIV/AIDS
• Maternal mortality 
• New trends in macro-economic policies that worsen women’s poverty level
• The pervasive problem of violence against women and girls
• Gender inequality
• Lack of access to education, 
• Traditional Barriers
