PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE : A SUCCES STORY IN EAST REGION 24/01/2022


From 6 to 9 September 2021, a Cameroon Human Rights Commission Delegation took part in an information and awareness campaign of the Baka and Bantu communities in the East Region on the rights of indigenous women and the girl child. This was under the leadership of Mrs BOUBA HAMMAN, the Chairperson of the Sub-Commission on Human Rights Promotion, and at the invitation of the African Indigenous Women's Organisation (AIWO-CAN).
During this field visit, some violations of the rights of indigenous people were observed. Recommendations were made to the authorities concerned.
Based on that activity's report, the Chairperson of the Cameroon Human Rights Commission sent letters to the Minister of Territorial Administration and the SDO of ABONG-MBANG, indicating the problems encountered in the field, especially the violations by the 3rd degree Chiefdom of Madouma, of the freedom of movement of the people, and their right to participate in the management of public affairs.
These complaints were favourably followed up, to the great benefit of the people of this locality.
