Hope Advocates Africa 1 - International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN)

Founded in 2015, Hope Advocates Africa (HADA) is a youth-led, grassroots-driven organization based in Cameroon, advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), gender justice, environmental peacebuilding, mediation, and conflict management in marginalized communities.

Working extensively in the conflict-affected Northwest and Southwest regions, HADA equips women and girls with the knowledge, leadership skills, and advocacy tools to defend their rights, influence decision-making, and lead peace efforts at community, national, and global levels. HADA transforms women from beneficiaries into frontline peacebuilders and justice advocates. HADA joined ICAN’s She Builds Peace Campaign in 2021.

Core Areas of Work:

CRSV and GBV
Peacemaking
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)
Women's health

We cannot move forward while more than half of us are left behind. In the spirit of sisterhood, in the spirit of solidarity, we will not stop until every woman in every part of the world knows her rights, and can live and enjoy her rights.

– Caryn Dasah Founder of Hope Advocates Africa
