@AfricaSexWork @SexualRights This includes: decriminalisation of all forms of adult sex work, accountability and independent oversight of the police, as well as the roll out of rights based SRHR and HIV services with the involvement of sex workers in all aspects. #StartTalkingCameroon #HRC39 #UPR
@AfricaSexWork @SexualRights it is critical also that the state reviews national health policies, strategies and programmes to ensure that the rights violations of sex workers are documented and addressed including the structural or social determinants that increase their vulnerability to GBV and HIV #HRC39
@AfricaSexWork @SexualRights It is concerning that the rights and violations of sex workers have not received specific attention either in the Cameroon national report or through State parties recommendations. #StartTalkingCameroon #HRC39 #UPR
@AfricaSexWork @SexualRights Sex workers have been at the forefront of demanding that their right to bodily autonomy and agency to choose sex work as a profession is recognised and respected. #StartTalkingCameroon #HRC39 #UPR
@AfricaSexWork @SexualRights Les femmes du Cameroun, et particulièrement les professionnelles du sexe, font face à de multiples et inter-communicantes formes d’oppressions. Celles-ci sont exclues de façon régulière de la mise en oeuvre d’action afin de combattre la violence et la discrimination. #HRC39 #UPR
@AfricaSexWork @SexualRights Spécialement en matière de combat contre la violence faite aux femmes, l’amélioration de l’accès à la santé et aussi la réalisation des droits sexuels et reproductifs.
#StartTalkingCameroon #HRC39 #EPU #UPR@AfricaSexWork @SexualRights Bien que le Cameroun ait accepté plusieurs recommendations afin d’améliorer la vie des femmes et des personnes marginalisées au 2e cycle de l’EPU, nous sommes inquiètes du peu de progrès que le pays a fait en la matière.
