Our Approach
Our Approach
We focus on survivors, letting their experiences guide our efforts. At the center of our strategy is GLOWAHaus, a place where survivors get long term personalized support. We also engage with communities to become stronger economically and change systems that make people vulnerable to abuse.

IMPACT MEASUREMENT
According to the 2021 UN Cameroon Country Results Report, Cameroon hosts over 116,000 Nigerian refugees in its Far North region, many vulnerable to exploitation due to displacement and crises. Additionally, more than 320,000 refugees from the Central African Republic have fled to Cameroon’s East Region, making them more vulnerable to exploitation. Modern slavery takes many forms and changes with new discoveries and global challenges like disasters. Stopping slavery means ongoing education and action led by survivors. GLOWA focuses on long-term prevention, measuring progress by looking at access to education and social support, and taking immediate steps like spreading anti-recruitment messages and providing temporary help. Partnerships with academia help us improve our strategies, track progress, and empower survivors to lead anti-child exploitation work.
