Cameroon: Full Steam Ahead For Electing a Woman President

With a bumper crop of elections due in Africa this year, the extent to which women have a voice in government will be coming under renewed scrutiny. This is especially true of Cameroon, where the campaign to elect a female president during polls in October is gaining momentum. “It's time that women mobilized around this goal and catapulted one of us to channel our frustrations. She's the one we'll be looking to in the next elections,” says Eugenie Zambo, Vice President of the Campaign for Political Emergence of the Cameroonian Woman (CEPFC), a non-governmental organisation (NGO).
