Abstract: Based on a legal analysis of the Maputo Protocol on Women’s Rights in Cameroon, the work analyses both the positive and negative impacts of the Maputo Protocol, proposed rectifications, criticisms raised after ratification and possible implications on women’s rights in Cameroon. Ratification by Cameroon poses relative problems. The methodology adopted includes collecting archival material from academic research and legal discipline. Findings show that most women lack knowledge of the Maputo Protocol’s existence and thus are unaware of its relevance and applicability. The work benefits governments, women groups, and legal scholars.
Keywords: Maputo Protocol, Women’s Rights, legal discipline, women groups, legal scholars.
