Cameroon — From November’s commitments to laws: Lefe’s appeal for women and children

As Cameroon approaches November 6, 2026, marking the start of the second year of the new seven-year term, the Ligue pour l’éducation de la femme et de l’enfant (Lefe) is calling for commitments made at the highest level of government to become concrete legal protections. The organization wants the November parliamentary session to adopt two fundamental texts to protect women and children. Its appeal comes amid continuing daily violence against these groups in Cameroon.
