The "Association pour les
jeunes filles-mères du Cameroun" took its campaign to Government Bilingual
High School, Nkol-Eton, Yaounde, on April 22, 2016.
Concerned about the growing
number of unwanted pregnancies among young girls over the years, a local
charity, the «Association pour les jeunes filles-mères du Cameroun» AJFMC, has
decided to tackle the problem from the roots. Apart from young single mothers,
its awareness campaign also targets young vulnerable girls.
AJFMC members were in Government
Bilingual High School, Nkol-Eton, Yaounde, on April 22, 2016, where they
discussed with Forms 1-3 students. Explaining the reason for the choice, AJFMC
President, Léonie Enone Ella Chedjou, said students in such classes are very
young and thus more vulnerable to sexual temptation. "Young girls need to
understand their menstrual cycles in order to avoid unwanted pregnancies. I
believe young students want to know more about their bodies," explained
Chedjou. She announced that her association will this week take the awareness
campaign to Collège la Gaièté, Yaounde.
