Cameroon’s Minister of Women’s Empowerment and the Family, Professor Marie Theres Abena Ondoa, has led a strong delegation of government ministers, civil society groups, traditional rulers and clergy to launch a three-month campaign against femicide, as more than 120 women have reportedly been killed this year, an unprecedented figure.

The campaign will tackle the causes of these killings, including jealousy, domestic abuse, gender inequality, male dominance and relationship conflicts, while promoting prevention, protection and accountability.
