Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) continue to be exposed to various forms of abuse and violence of their rights as a result of this article. The latest annual 2020 national report on violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity and expression in Cameroon produced by the Unity Platform under the name "TRANSPHOBIA: The Face of a New Crisis" documented a total of 2,031 cases of rights violations and abuses across the national triangle. Women and transgender people are doubly victimized by these violations.

Civil society organizations are implementing activities to address this situation. Sport being a unifying element, Working for our Wellbeing , Humanity First Cameroon Plus, SIL and Alternative Cameroon within the framework of the PRIDES-CM (project to strengthen inclusiveness, diversity, and equality of sexual minorities in Cameroon) have initiated since 2020 an annual tournament entitled "Sport for Tolerances".
