Rosie Kamdem Cameroon Based Women’s and Education Rights Activist
Episode 12
Monday, 4 April, 2022

Today I would like to welcome Rosie Kamdem to the podcast. Rosie is friend and a bit of a hero of mine. A mother of 5 she is an award winning women and education rights activist in Cameroon working in the countries major cities and most remote villages, and at times across the African Continent. She spends her time visiting tribes and villages that can only be reached by hiking into the bush as she teaches women how to make soap and other goods necessary to provide a more safe and sanitary lifestyle while producing income for these small women run businesses. In most villages women have never run a business before. In many of these areas women to not know a word for their private parts, or for menstruation. Rosie also focuses on the empowerment of women on the nationally, locally, and tribal level where women most often do not have a voice. Helping women and young girls understand that they have options in life that include education, owning a business, having the right to have their voices heard, and that child marriages are not necessary are primary focuses of her work.
