Has Cameroon become a much safer place for LGBTI people? It’s a question raised by the publication of the latest report on anti-LGBTI violence and human rights abuses. The report was published on May 21 by the Unity platform, a human rights watchdog whose membership includes dozens of Cameroonians LGBTI rights organizations. The Unity report cited a total of 1,878 incidents of violence and violations in 2023 — down 36 percent from the 2,925 total in the previous year. Some of the drop may have occurred because regional LGBTI rights organizations ran into problems collecting and compiling data. The report also does not take include data on hate speech or violence in the health sector.
