Empowerment in Action: Melvis Ngwachi’s Journey with RWASJ

How does one conference change a life? Ask Ngonjoh Melvis Ngwachi.

Since attending the RWASJ conference at the Bamenda Regional House of Assembly last March, Melvis has transformed from a survivor into a community advocate. As a student leader at the University of Bamenda (ENSET), she is using her voice to protect student rights and advocate for the vulnerable.

Coming from the Bambalang tribe, Melvis saw firsthand the impact of Gender-Based Violence. Today, she uses her own story of healing—mentored by RWASJ—to encourage other young girls to speak out and seek justice.

We celebrate Melvis for her courage and her service as a Female Officer for student rights. Together, we are ending the silence around GBV and fostering a sustainable, just future for every rural woman and girl in the North West Region.
