Cameroonian women’s political power has increased rapidly, with the number of women in the National Assembly doubling in the 2013 elections. Cameroon is not involved with any wars or significant armed conflicts, but there are ongoing disputes with Nigeria over oil rich land in the border area. Women in Cameroon have actively participated in the economic arena for years, but their political achievements of recent years have helped create more security for women. Cameroon ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1994. As of 2020, Cameroon is ranked 96 out of the 153 countries listed on the Global Gender Gap Index (GGI). Women and civil society organizations are working to maintain political involvement and help limit violence against women, such as female genital cutting and human trafficking. Cameroon voted for the adoption of the treaty, which was signed on 3 December 2014 but has not yet been ratified. Cameroon did not participate in the 2015 October Open Debate. The Government of Cameroon launched its first 1325 National Action Plan (NAP) in November 2017 for a period of three years (2018-2020). The main data for identifying NAP priorities was compiled by WILPF Cameroon, which has also played a crucial role in mobilising on Women, Peace and Security across the country and developing this NAP. One gap that WILPF Cameroon has aimed to address through their work is the lack of awareness of UNSCR 1325, so a number of the section’s activities since its founding have focused on engaging key stakeholders as well as the media.
