Lougué's "Association d'appui et d'éveil" PUGSADA works on defending educational and human rights while simultaneously combatting gender-based violence and forced marriages.

She has spearheaded many projects to advance education on these topics, providing awareness and information on how to tackle these human rights infringements.
