Cameroon’s new association of activist women and their supporters has been busy in Cameroon and in Europe, seeking greater opportunities, improved health care, and basic human rights for lesbians and transgender women.

The organization AVAF (Association for the Promotion of Women) has been active in Cameroon, led by its local board of directors, all of them women.

Meanwhile, the president of AVAF in France, a gay man, has been accepted to represent the group at an upcoming conference in Germany in order to improve AVAF’s visibility and to seek financial support for it.
