Anti-femicide protests have been held in major Cameroonian cities, including Douala and Yaounde, with thousands of people calling for stronger government action against the killings of women.
The demonstrations followed reports of rising numbers of gender-related killings, many of which activists say remain unsolved or unreported. Protest organizers have also called for broader action to address barriers facing victims and their families, alongside proposed legislation to make femicide a standalone criminal offense.
