C: Social Welfare for Women Working in the Informal Sector 866- According to Decree No. 2014/2377/PM of 13 August 2014 to lay down the terms and conditions of support for voluntary insured persons to old age, invalidity and death pension insurance scheme, Government committed to extend social coverage to as many persons as possible including freelance workers and those in the informal sector.

The protection of children against abuse at the workplace is part of the concern to preserve the social fabric. A: Fight against Child Labour, including the Girl Child 868- Child protection has been enforced by determining the minimum age for child labour and also fighting against child labour. 1: Determining the Minimum Age for Child Labour 869- As a Party to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989, ratified on 11 January 1993) and two ILO Conventions on child labour which are Convention 138, the Minimum Age Convention (1973, ratified in 2001) and Convention 182, the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (1999, ratified in 2002), Cameroon has a legal framework which defines the minimum age for employment, an official tool to protect the child with regards to work and against the worst forms of child labour. 870- Section 86 of the Labour Code sets the minimum age for work at 14 years and provides that pursuant to Convention 138, dispensations could be allowed to go beneath this age. In application of the Labour Code, Order No. 17/MTLS/DEGREE of 27 May 1969 relating to child labour governs this sector. Summarily, it emerges that some forms of work are prohibited to children and when children are employed, particular measures should be applied to them. 871- When the child is above 14 years and is doing an authorised job, he is covered by added protection till he/she turns 18. This protection takes the form of verifying the conformity of the job, increasing the duration of annual leave and adjusting their work time. 2: Fight against Child Labour 872- See the First Part, Chapter on the protection of children’s rights and the fight against child labour. B: Equal Rights of Spouses to Family Obligations 873- Reconciling their professional and domestic obligations remains a challenge. 431 The 4th edition of Festi Cacao organised by the Ministry of Commerce and the Inter-Professional Cocoa and Coffee Council (CICC) from 3 to 5 December 2015 in Douala and a round table on “The woman, indispensable vector in the cocoa sector” created an opportunity for dialogue on the challenges to overcome.
