Cameroon - Douala - "Since I had met him, he always had the intention to leave. We have been together for 9 years, but I knew that, one day, he would have left." With her low-tone of voice and her remissive behaviour, 31-year-old Lady Njoya is a woman worn out by life. One year ago, she was raising her three children in the city of Yaounde, together with her husband, 47-year-old Ismael Njoya. Now that he is gone, she has moved to the business city of Douala, where she rents a minuscule house in a popular area.
