Concerns over violence against women are continuing to grow in Cameroon following a series of reported killings this year.
AFP reported that at least 56 women had been killed since the beginning of 2026, citing data from the Stop Feminicides 237 organisation. The Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and the Family has also indicated that legislation specifically addressing femicide is expected to be considered during Parliament’s November session.
Rights groups and families of victims continue to call for stronger protection and access to justice for women affected by gender-based violence.
