Empowering Women and Children

The Centre d’Éveil de la Femme (The Center for the Awakening of Women - CEF in acronym) is a non-profit association active since 2012 in promoting the rights of women and children by caring for their integral development and well-being.

Among its main objectives, one of the most important is the recovery of street children and young women, otherwise forced into a dangerous daily life of prostitution and drugs.
