AFRICAphonie Publishes Guidebook on Monitoring Human Rights in Cameroon

The major purpose of this Guidebook is to cover the activities of a three-day workshop on strengthening the institutions of 30 human rights organizations based in the South West and North West regions of Cameroon to Monitor, Document and Report (MDR process) human rights violations.
Violations of human rights are major challenges confronting the Cameroonian nation. These violations come in many forms including torture, domestic violence, arbitrary arrest and detention, sexual assault, land theft, girl trafficking, adultery, arson, extra-judicial killings, female genital mutilation, breast ironing among others. An increase in violent conflict and the instability that it creates is often linked to an increase in violations of human rights.
