Country chapter updated 11 April 2025 · retrieved September 5, 2026. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Child marriage
Conflict with Boko Haram has exacerbated the already prevalent practice of child marriage and sexual abuse of minors in the Far North Region. In northern Cameroon, marriage is used as a way to recover a family’s debts. The conflict in northern Cameroon cause loss of assets, reduced incomes and increased seclusion of girls which can lead families to see child marriage as a way to meet their needs. Crises exacerbate factors that drive child marriage also include insecurity and lack of access to services such as education.
Education and children’s rights
Many children are deprived of their right to education due to schools closing because of the ongoing armed conflict. Attacks and kidnappings of students and teachers at those schools are frequent. At least 70 schools have been attacked since 2017. Separatist groups have also carried out hundreds of kidnappings. Human Rights Watch documented 268 abductions of students and education professionals since 2017.
Reproductive health and harmful practices
Harmful practices against women persist as a prevalent issue. Such include female genital mutilation, breast ironing, discriminatory widowhood rights, and kidnapping of children, including young girls, for the sale of organs or magic or religious/magic practices. There are no laws specifically outlawing female genital mutilation (FGM) or breast ironing.

Which Cameroon findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for a partner still believes in Cameroon. Our selection connects the 11 April 2025 chapter with partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Each quote is separate from our practical question.

Discriminatory prominence is given to religious bodies, traditions or leaders
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?

A question to verify: Does the actual institution hold a relevant record, and what current process changes it without unintended notification?
What if my partner still believes and I do not?
For a partner still believes in Cameroon, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Choose one household agreement that needs an explicit conversation. The two starting points below address partnership agreements, family-law context and shared parenting. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Make the hidden agreements visible
Attendance, money, food, religious objects, family visits, intimacy and raising children may all carry assumptions that were never discussed. List the agreements that have changed and the ones that still work. A disagreement about a ritual may also involve belonging, identity or fear about the relationship’s future.
Protect consent on both sides
Neither partner should have to perform belief, accept unwanted religious activity or be mocked into changing a worldview. A workable conversation distinguishes a request, an invitation and a requirement. It also leaves room for a genuine no.

How did religious identity change in Cameroon?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s Cameroon table shows 3.1% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 2.1% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 71.7% | 69.8% | -1.9 pp |
| Muslim | 21.3% | 25.2% | +3.9 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 3.1% | 2.1% | -1.0 pp |
| Buddhist | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Hindu | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | 3.9% | 2.9% | -1.0 pp |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
