Cameroon
COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Cameroon is a developing country in central Africa. Facilities for tourism are limited. The capital is Yaoundé, though Douala, the country's largest city, is its main port and commercial center. Official languages are French and English, though French predominates in most of the country. English may be used in Cameroon's two Anglophone provinces and the larger cities. Staffs of major hotels in Cameroon's large cities are usually bilingual.

V. Country Narratives -- Countries A through G
France is a destination country for women trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and involuntary domestic servitude, primarily from Eastern and Central Europe and Africa. The number of Chinese women trafficked to France for sexual exploitation increased in 2004. The government estimates that there are 10,000 to 12,000 trafficking victims in France, 3,000-8,000 of whom are children forced into prostitution and labor. Nigerian trafficking networks continued to expand their activities in France.

The Government of France fully complies with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. Although the government did not provide full data on investigations, prosecutions, convictions, and sentences, the Secretary of State has ... [Read More]
United States Embassy Cameroon: Mrs. Marquardt donates books on the International Education week
One of Cameroon’s largest untapped sectors with enormous potential for investment and growth is tourism. Already, I personally have traveled by land to 9 of Cameroon’s 10 provinces – indeed, I got off the train from Ngaoundere just yesterday after spending a family weekend in the north. As such, I have already witnessed much of Cameroon’s beauty, and its cultural and environmental richness. Not only is it vital to protect these sites, but infrastructure such as roads, hotels, and – especially -- reliable air transportation must be created. With such structures in place, I personally will lead the charge to attract American tourists to Cameroon’s beaches, mountains, waterfalls, game parks, cabarets and historical sites. This nation truly has the potential to not only attract visitors from the world over, but to make them return again and again. ... [Read More]
United States Embassy Cameroon: Trafficking in Persons Report
The Ministries of Social Affairs, Labor, and Women's Affairs; the General Delegation for National Security; and, the National Gendarmerie annually allocate funds to support anti-trafficking programs. In 2003, the government sponsored a three-day conference on sex tourism that was attended by hotel managers and travel agencies. The Ministry of Social Affairs conducted seminars in four provinces to discuss the sexual exploitation of children. Frontier police began requiring parental authorization for children traveling without their parents. The government, in conjunction with the ILO, launched a campaign to educate foreign tourists and law enforcement officers about the dangers of child trafficking. Anti-trafficking embarkation-disembarkation cards are now distributed to passengers on international flights leaving Yaounde. The government also supports the creation of anti-trafficking clubs in Cameroon's high schools. [Read More]
