At the motorized march-past, female officers steered and controlled military vehicles and other cars used for fighting insecurity through timely interventions. In Cameroon today, women can be found in the ranks of the Police Corps as Inspectors General, Directors, Service Heads and Commissioners of Public Security. An appraisal of this outcome and their active participation in the May 20 march-past just like men makes it clear that gender equality is given due consideration in the country.

It indicates that appointments and march-past is not based on sex partialities but rather on competence. Whether in the Police, Gendarmerie or any other corps of the military in which women are present, their ideas are always sought during the decision making process.

Oyono née Thom Cecile is Inspector General at the General Delegation of National Security while Police Commissioner Ewu Akenji Jeannette is Director of Public Security. This greatly attests to the fact that women are capable of managing and actively participation in military parades of the National Day event.
