"In Benin, 7 out of 10 women say they have been subjected to violence at least once in their lives. Despite the high rate of gender-based violence, very few women come forward to denounce their aggressors or ask for help – either out of fear of reprisals, lack of trust or access to the justice system, or due to a lack of knowledge of available services and their rights. Among the gateways to these services are health centers. However, a lack of coordination between the different players in the network results in the invisibilization of violence and limits women’s access to the services to which they are entitled" (para 1-2).more

This sharp rise follows a steady upward trend in recent years. From around 200 cases documented in 2021–2022, the number jumped to 1,117 in 2023 and surpassed 2,000 in 2024.

Available reporting points more toward the government’s attempted security response than acceptance of such practices: the 2025 ACAPS report on Benin notes that the Government of Benin responded to the northern security crisis through military operations such as Mirador and Araignée, including the deployment of 450 personnel to secure key areas, although these efforts have not fully prevented non-state armed group incursions or reduced protection risks.

Enforcement was weak due to police ineffectiveness, official corruption, and survivors not reporting cases due to fear of social stigma and retaliation.
