Standing With Valerie Against Domestic Violence

Valerie, 32, is a victim of domestic violence. Last year, the man she lived with made her life

a living hell. For months, Valerie was beaten, raped, starved, humiliated in front of her

children, stripped naked in the neighborhood and a victim of psychological violence.

She also became pregnant following a sexual assault. Throughout the entire pregnancy, the

abuser prevented her from going to her prenatal appointments: in nine months, she did not

receive any medical assistance.

After being under her abuser’s control for so long, she now finds herself completely

deprived of resources. She can no longer afford to feed her three children, including a

newborn baby.

Fortunately, Valerie found the courage to leave her abuser’s home and share her story with

Hope for Cameroon. She has been temporarily relocated with her children into a family

member’s poultry farm. Evidently, this environment is neither safe nor sanitary for them.

So far, Hope for Cameroon has helped Valerie by reporting her case to the police.

Cameroonian authorities are therefore currently in the process of arresting the man, who

has not been found yet. Moreover, our organization accompanied her to the hospital for a

medical check-up and provided her with a majority of the medicine she needed.
