Many religious movements have seen their base and their sphere of influence consolidated or contested.

These accusations often result in imprisoning women.
This article will discuss the place of women in the political scene of Cameroon from an anthropological and socio-historical perspective and, based on that approach, we will propose a modification to the status of Muslim Women in political society.
