The African theme for this year is “30 years after the adoption of the Charter: let’s accelerate the implementation of Agenda 2040 for an Africa fit for children”. The National theme is “Protect every child from violence, exploitation, neglect and abuse: a priority for the Cameroonian Government”.

She reiterated Cameroon’s commitment to social justice and the fight against social exclusion in social policy. June was declared the month of the child and will henceforth be observed as such in Cameroon.
