Survivors' Network plans to provide a temporary shelter to 50 displaced women who are at risk of being trafficked in the South West region of Cameroon. Women will be provided with accommodation and essential services, such as medical assistance, psychological support, and food. They will also receive skills training and help setting up a business. As the armed conflict continues in the South West region of Cameroon, many people are fleeing rural areas in the hope of finding safety.
