In March 2016, a forum was organised with numerous representatives of the Government and NGOs to develop a comprehensive strategy to address gender-based discriminations, child abuse and exploitation. The forum participants agreed on a number of key issues to be addressed by the Government including to improve health care services, organise prevention campaigns, provide adequate legal assistance to child victims of sexual exploitation, strengthen the administrative measures to punish offenders and spread the use of codes of ethics among key tourism actors.
Since 2011, sexual violence prevention projects, such as “Creation of a protective environment for the prevention of sexual abuses and trafficking of children for sexual exploitation and gender discrimination of children in Cameroon”, are carried out by NGOs.
As of January 2017, Cameroon has not yet ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. [?]
A local NGO reported that between January 2015 and June 2016 more than 900 children have been victims of sexual abuse in Cameroon.
