protection of women and girls has been strengthened, notably through the adoption of a new Penal Code in 2016, which expanded the range of offences to which women and girls are victims. The Document has been widely disseminated to ensure ownership of it by all social strata. B: Prevention of Violence 913- At the institutional level, the implementation in 2014 of the Project for "Social cohesion and rehabilitation of refugee women survivors of GBV and rape, victims of the conflict in CAR in the East Region" made it possible to raise awareness on GBV among 31,680 refugees and 4 centers for information sharing between refugee women and those from host communities were created in Gado Badzere, Timangolo, Mbilé and Lolo. 914- A subgroup for the protection of women against GBV was set up in 2016 at MINPROFF, with the objective of bringing together key stakeholders to guide and take care of GBV victims in humanitarian areas. In this context, operational standards to tackle GBV in a humanitarian context were developed. Capacity building was undertaken for social, medical, judicial and security stakeholders and awareness-raising activities were organized for community stakeholders. 915- The Civil Society has also undertaken actions to support government action. For example, in 2016, ACAFEJ, assisted by UN Women, organized community activities to raise awareness among women and men for the prevention and control of GBV in localities and villages identified with the support of community relays in villages and localities in the East Region, namely: Timangolo, Kette Gbiti, Mboumama, Garisingo, Yokadouma, Nyabi, Sandji, Kentzou, Lolo, Batouri, and Gari Gombo. 916- The Capacity building Project for Police Officers on the protection of women and children against gender-based violence in humanitarian context led by the General Delegation for National Security with the support of UN Women made it possible to train more than 400 National Security Officers working in the East, Adamawa and Far North Regions from 2015 to 2017. C: Punishment of Violence against women and rehabilitation of survivors 917- Psychosocial support and medical care was provided to survivors of violence. To reinforce this support, 102 Centers for the Empowerment of Women and the Family were created, as well as 5 Call Centers in the Littoral (Douala 1), Center (Yaounde VII) and Far North (Maroua) Regions, 17 Gender Desk, 5 Women's Cohesion Centers in Adamawa, East, and Far North, 2 shelters still in the experimental phase and Counseling Centers for women victims of violence. Furthermore, a toll-free number (2 33 42 56 68) is operational since 2 December 2014 at the Akwa Counseling Center (Douala 1). 918- In addition, in 2016, ACAFEJ provided psychosocial support and medical and legal counseling to refugee women and girls victims of GBV in the Lolo and Mbile localities by facilitating their access to existing services and providing special support to victims most affected by violence. It also strengthened the capacity of women victims/survivors to increase their social resilience through information, education, orientation and awareness-raising activities on GBV issues. §2.Protection of children and particularly girls in armed conflict 919- The Boko Haram terrorist group initially kidnapped civilians, but subsequently changed its modus operandi to frontal attacks against the army, then to suicide attacks. Between 2015 and 2017, more than 70 suicide attacks were recorded in the Far North Region, with the abduction, recruitment and use of children, particularly girls as human bombs. According to a 151
