The Cameroonian Family Within the Confines of Human Rights Challenges

Members of Cameroonian families are experiencing a good number of challenges in their activities, duties, etc. In this work, these challenges are discussed in the following chapters: moral issues, educational setting, psychological context, cultural perceptions, political life, spiritual fabric, financial considerations, health situation, legal realm, economic picture, labour matters and external influence. There is need to address them by: a) producing, as soon as possible, the long-awaited family code and other laws which directly deal with the family; b) prompting structures and persons dealing with family matters (non-governmental organizations, religious institutions, educational establishments, family heads, etc) to handle the aforementioned challenges in a judicious manner.
