This was a joint project carried out by women in Alternative Action and Trauma Centre Cameroon. It came from the rationale that  the  Laws that protect the family unit are generally flawed and tend to promote Domestic Violence Against the Womanand because domestic Violence crosses all barriers of class, income, culture, religion etc due to the pervasive idea of the family being sacred and above sanction, thus contributing to keeping violence in the home a highly under-reported crime and usually take various forms; physical battery, emotional, sexual and psychological abuse, sexual harassment, dowry related violence, female genital mutilation, forced prostitution etc. Except in certain sexual offences our penal code does not draw a distinction between male and female, therefore criminal processes with respect to acts occurring within the family will be available if the acts meet the definition of crimes such as common assault, assault occasioning bodily harm, wounding, manslaughter or murder. Sections of the Penal Code for example deal with assault on the person generally irrespective of sex. Although some  legislation protect the women against domestic violence, in the most part those that promote domestic violence as well as make special mention of certain kinds of Domestic Violence which prevail but are not covered by the law are numerous. customary rites and traditional practices are the monsters behind the perpetration of Domestic Violence. What compounds the issue more is that the woman is prepared to have her rights violated rather than reject these practises for fear of witchcraft and being ostracised. This is due in most part to  ignorance of the remedies available. The project  was therefore focused on providing space for the proper understanding  of the experiences of women as victims of  domestic violence through the production and distribution of documented discriminatory legislation, and using this document in an advocacy and lobbying strategy to bring about behavioural change, change of negative traditional practices and customs as well as  national laws  that promote Domestic violence in particular and violence against the woman in general.It dealt with major long term and short-term relief issues such as the problem of laws acting as obstruction and discrimination of women in the development process. It focused on building an informed womanhood in matters of revised  legislation or modified alternative legal texts and revisiting and adopting the New family Code in Cameroon. In so doing, both Organisations  published information on newspapers. There were media events like  Radio talk shows, TV round tables, interviews with media outlets, TV sketch type presentations and other activities culminating to the gathering of women in forums and seminars. Both Organisations took active part in planning the 8th March programmes and took part in workshops during which the publications were distributed.  A number of volunteers were used to meet and hand published draft laws to Parliamentarians in personal and public events and carried out discussions with them.
