Mifali

Mifali is a Cameroonian platform managed by adolescent girls and boys, which focuses on the injustices faced by girls in particular. On this platform girls come together to discuss issues they face and bring out solutions to these problems, with the aim of empowering adolescents with education, understanding, and skills to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as obtain access to services and career opportunities for their personal and leadership development. The movement also works to facilitate the active participation and inclusion of their voices in critical decision-making spaces. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, group members have been unable to meet and engage in community outreach. Meetings take place online, which is challenging due to a lack of access to the internet and mobile phones. Mifali is working to ensure that group members have access to the internet and communication devices, so that they can continue to engage and remain active in advocacy and movement activities.
