Gender-based violence (GBV) is a critical issue in Benin, affecting women aged 15 to 49 across different departments. This study examines the regional disparities in the prevalence of emotional, physical, and sexual violence against women, as well as the rates at which they seek help to end violence. Data from the fifth Demographic and Health Survey of Benin (DHSB-V) provides insights into the spatial distribution of GBV and the socio-demographic determinants of violence across the country. Results indicate significant variations in GBV prevalence across different departments. Alibori, Plateau, and Collines exhibit the highest rates of spousal violence, while departments such as Zou and Littoral have lower rates. The study also reveals disparities in help-seeking behavior, with departments like Alibori and Donga showing higher rates of women seeking help, and Atacora and Borgou having higher proportions of women who neither seek help nor confide in anyone about the violence they experience.
