Cameroonian Women Battle Against Sexism With Tourism

Cameroonian Women Battle Against Sexism With Tourism

From The Daily Beast

In a country that discriminates against women, it’s hard for Cameroonian ladies to find a rewarding career. So some are hitting the road and finding success – via the tourism industry.

Brenda and Joseph Mazieno Nkwenti, married for four years with two young boys ages 4 and 2, are currently separated, because Joseph wants his wife to be a housewife – just like the majority of Cameroonian women.

Brenda, now 34, is currently in tourism school, so she can realize her dream of opening a tourism business in Denmark that introduces Europeans to her beloved country, a lush and beautiful land in central West Africa. It has been ten years since Brenda made the decision to move, first to Holland, then Denmark.
