Cameroon announces women and sport as focus for 2006

2006 has been announced by WomenSport Cameroon as the year for the focus on Education of Women and Girls in Sport.

The reason for this is that our actions essentially organize a campaign of sensitizing people to development through sport.

This campaign, which is concerned with the women and girls of Cameroon, will be free. It will make it possible for us to touch and reach the target population, to make known the importance of the practice of sport, and, throughout, to break the myth that says that the practice of sport in new sport centers is a luxury only for the most rich and affluent section of the population.

Using sports, we can also unearth in girls the talents that will carry us to the future, and why not make future Cameroonese ambassadors of sport if it is suitable.

In light of this, the receipt of this campaign is hoped to be passed strongly by many organization.

Therefore we intend to organize this campaign in the following manner:

• Organization in high schools and universities already being in place, we are currently debating the theme of “cogency of the sport on the organization” and “Sport – Factors for the development of Women and Girls in Cameroon.”
• Education of the media on women and sport
• Publication of information and promotion of the program eg T Shirts

We will also work with WomenSport International to represent WSI in Cameroon.
