  • Description: This article examines the impact of the Anglophone conflict on the achievement of Cameroon's goal of gender equity and equality. Since 2016, when the conflict between the Cameroonian central government and separatists took a violent turn, civilians in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon have been subjected to acts of violence by both non-state and state actors. Like in most conflicts, women and girls have been disproportionately affected; however, even though women bear the heaviest brunt of the crisis, their voices have mostly been missing from debates about the conflict and its devastating effect. This article, therefore, gives attention to the lived experiences of women in the regions affected by the Anglophone conflict in Cameroon. This is to help make sense of the conflict's psychosocial impact on civilians, especially women and girls. The study is qualitative; it adopts a contextually grounded, intersectional approach which allows women to give an account of how the conflict has affected their lives and exacerbated forms of violence such as gender-based violence (GBV).
