Justine Tchunkam vies for position at AU

A lecturer in law at the Yaoundé II University, as well as the International School for Security Forces (EIFORCES), the Regional School of Magistrate (ESURMA) in Porto Novo, Benin and the International Relations Institute of Cameroon (IRIC), Justine Diffo Tchunkam hopes to join the African Union Commission.

Indeed, this Cameroonian academic will soon run for the position of Social Affairs Commissioner within this Pan African institution, we learned from media sources.

Even more than her lectures on campus, Justine Diffo Tchunkam is better known in Cameroon for her activities in terms of promoting the role of women in politics.

Through the “More Women in Politics” NGO, of which she is the National Coordinator, the woman who is the Central African Coordinator of the Francophone Network for Gender Equality since 2014, has become for some years now the apostle for the integration of Cameroonian women in politics.

Just a few weeks ago, with the support of the European Union, she was working at setting up a programme for the “widespread political participation of women to the 2018 elections in Cameroon”.
