The 21st century has been marked by growing calls to promote the inclusion and participation of women in peace processes as well as recognise their unique lived experiences in wartime and peacetime. These calls have materialised in various UN resolutions which articulate the commitments made by the international community towards addressing and redressing the experiences of women. In spite of these, there exists a significant gap between rhetoric and action at national levels. The nation of Cameroon has been embroiled with a civil war and women in the affected regions have unfortunately been disregarded in terms of their inclusion in peace processes and redress for their experiences.
