This article is an attempt to show that Cameroonian families are experiencing a serious form of crisis. This crisis is discernible at the level of the various forms of authority existing in families; sexual morality; the responsibilities of children; succession issues; children’s rights; etc. The article makes an appeal to all stakeholders in the domain of family life in Cameroon (government institutions in charge of family affairs; non-governmental organizations in charge of family life; educational institutions which lay emphasis on family issues; traditional and cultural authorities and groups; religious institutions; families; etc) to diligently work together so as to overcome the aforementioned crisis.
