Gender Based Violence

CYJULERC SRHR ACADEMY > Products > Gender Based Violence

Gender-Based Violence remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations affecting women and girls in Cameroon. Conflict, displacement, poverty, harmful gender norms, and silence have intensified the risk—while many survivors still lack access to justice, medical care, and safe support.

CYJULERC Academy’s Gender-Based Violence category equips learners with the knowledge, skills, and responsibility to prevent violence, respond ethically to survivors, and strengthen protection systems at community and institutional levels.

What this category is about

This category provides practical, rights-based learning on:

  • Forms of gender-based violence (sexual, physical, emotional, economic, online)

  • Sexual violence, rape, defilement, and exploitation

  • Consent, coercion, and power dynamics

  • GBV in conflict and humanitarian settings

  • Survivor-centered response and ethical engagement

  • Medical, legal, and psychosocial referral pathways

  • Protection of minors and persons with disabilities

  • Accountability and access to justice

The focus is not just on understanding violence—but on how to respond without causing further harm.

Learning Outcome

  • Support survivors without blame or retraumatization

  • Navigate medical and legal referral pathways

  • Promote prevention and accountability within communities

What makes CYJULERC’s CSE different

Many GBV trainings focus on awareness alone. CYJULERC Academy goes further by emphasizing:

  • Survivor dignity, consent, and confidentiality

  • Do No Harm and safeguarding principles

  • Clear referral pathways between health, legal, and community systems

  • Legal clarity on what survivors are entitled to under Cameroonian law

  • Practical decision-making in complex, real-life situations

The goal is not to sensationalize violence, but to build competent, ethical responders.

Why this matters

In contexts where GBV is normalized, hidden, or ignored, knowledge becomes protection. CYJULERC Academy’s Gender-Based Violence category ensures that those working on the frontlines—and those living in affected communities—are equipped to respond with care, competence, and courage.
