"'Although femicide remains insufficiently documented, it is increasing and represents an extreme form of gender-based violence,” the minister told lawmakers. 'The number of femicides continues to rise in our country.' The trend highlights the scale of a problem that has long been treated as a private or family matter despite being one of the most severe forms of violence against women. It also underscores the limitations of current reporting systems in a context where many cases of violence go unreported because of fear, stigma, or a lack of confidence in support mechanisms. Abena Ondoua acknowledged that official figures capture only part of the reality" (para 3-4).
