Mrs. Miriam Ngunjo Shalo Weledji

It is with great sorrow that we receive the news of the passing of the Founder of FIDA Cameroon chapter, the esteemed Lawyer Mrs. Miriam Ngunjo Shalo Weledji, affectionately remembered by many as Mami Weledji. In these difficult times, our hearts are with her family, friends, and colleagues, as we mourn the loss of an exceptional individual.

Mami Weledji was more than a prominent figure in the legal field; she was a true trailblazer whose legacy will shine forever. Her tireless dedication to the advocacy of women’s rights resonated not only in her beloved African continent but across the globe. As a mother, lawyer, and advocate, her impact was profound and enduring.

The void left by her departure will be deeply felt by all those who had the privilege of knowing her and being inspired by her life and contributions. May her memory endure as a source of inspiration and strength for us all, and may her legacy continue to guide us in the pursuit of justice and equality.
