Cameroon women06 January 2004
8,000 women from the North West province of Aghem in Cameroon recently agreed to abandon their sex strike.

For three decades they have tried to make the authorities restrict the behaviour of local grazers allowing their cattle to roam freely and destroy their subsistence crops that feed their families.

Twenty four hours a day for 8 weeks they encircled the palace of their tribe's chief in protest. The new governor has intervened and promised a quick solution. Jenni speaks to Ewi Elizabeth, one of the Secret Council.
