As part of the 41st edition of International Women’s Day, the association of women of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has multiplied initiatives around training, health and digital technology, highlighting the strategic role of women in the development of technologies and society.
As a prelude to the festivities of March 8, 2026, placed under the theme “Rights. Justice. Action. For all women and girls”, the Tutelle Association, which brings together women from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of Cameroon (Minpostel), organized a series of activities aimed at promoting the fulfillment, training and professional engagement of women.
A non-governmental, apolitical, secular and non-profit association, Tutelle brings together women working within the ministry to promote their personal and professional development. Its actions are structured around several major axes, notably the fulfillment of Minpostel women, professional training for improved performance, support for women in the fight against poverty, as well as the representation of Minpostel women in other sectors of society.
The association, which cooperates closely with women’s groups from structures under the supervision of Minpostel, organizes its activities around several poles: Science and technique, Art and culture, Sport and well-being, Catering and decoration.
