In terms of the challenges of the African Feminist Movement, I believe we encounter the backlash that happens as a result of misconceptions of being branded as “hysterical females who are not capable of keeping their reason and passion in balance”. Feminists are often shunned in a society where patriarchy is prevailing and are thought to have borrowed strange ideas from western cultures. African feminists face the challenge of breaking free from stereotyping roles given to women and are often frustrated in the process of trying to help women get out of the mould or cocoon built for them by the society. At the collective level, in Cameroon, the feminist movement is weak and lack support from other women especially the younger generation, who may not want to identify with their ideals.
