5. Cameroon

Average Rank: 22

In Cameroon, women held 33.9% of parliamentary seats as of February 2021. Despite that, gender equality remains elusive as various social and economic inequalities persist. Women continue to face disparities in access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. High rates of gender-based violence contribute to social inequalities despite legal frameworks in place to address the issue. Economic disparities are evident in women’s limited access to finance and property, that have consistently hindered their financial independence.
