I went in a UN refugees camp in eastern cameroon where i found that there are many cases of rapes of women. I met with victims and coordinatotrs who explained that those women are raped by male refugees who consume drugs sent to them by cameroonians. The phenomenon touches dozens of women and girls. the defence committe made of refugees is powerless to curb the problem.
