A Noiseless Crime Contributing to the Violation of Women Rights: Domestic Violence a Continuous nightmare on Women Rights and Status. The Need for Extermination or Continuation in Cameroon?

Women violence is a deeply rooted problem that exists in every country of the globe. For the most part; nevertheless, the international community has yet to create operational legal standards that will exclusively address the problems and intricacies experienced by women via domestic violence. Notwithstanding this unfortunate emptiness, the rights of battered women may be asserted under international and regional Human Rights Conventions that are legally binding upon ratifying States. This article articulates that the cankerworm of domestic violence though hypocritically and pretentiously combatted by the government of Cameroon through its various legal dispositions, has still, and continues to be considered by many as a silent or noiseless crime affecting the status of women. Women in the generic sense of the word, continue to be victims of domestic violence. This state of affairs has evidently posed negative implications on their various rights and integrity. The government of Cameroon has failed in respecting the international prescription and commitments in respecting the fundamental rights of women as their violation and abuses continue to be on the rise.
