A charmiing color photograph of Marthe Wandou, a prominent Cameroonian lawyer, gender-equality advocate, and peace activist. Born October 15, 1963, she is the founder of ALDEPA and the first Cameroonian to receive the Right Livelihood Award for protecting women and children from extremist violence (2021). She sits slightly turned toward the right, a warm, soft smile gracing her face. Her gaze is just slightly past the camera to the right. She wears a vibrant, traditional African dress featuring rich purple, orange, brown, and cream tie-dye batik patterns, adorned with an intricately detailed, semi-circular embroidered neckline of red and violet teardrop motifs. A matching silk headwrap is tied in a stylized knot over her dark braided hair, complementing her large, chunky gold hoop earrings and a delicate gold chain necklace. A small black lapel microphone is clipped to her collar. The background is softly out of focus, suggesting a spacious indoor or courtyard setting with faint, neutral gray-toned stone walls and a dark sculptural element obscured to the left, focusing all attention on her serene, dignified, and hopeful expression.

Mothers coerced/forced into adoption are survivors of traumatic births, child loss, missing child, and often medical trauma, in addition to multiple levels of emotional, physical, and psychological trauma. This is a women’s rights issue that is never even acknowledged.
