Published purpose
This initiative contributes to ending harmful practices and violence against girls and adolescents, including child marriage, in Benin. To achieve this, UNICEF works to equip girls and women better to take ownership of their rights and access appropriate social and protective services. Project activities include: (1) strengthening Benin’s capacity to respond to sexual and gender-based violence against girls and adolescents; and (2) providing technical assistance to key government structures at both national and sub-national levels. The project also works with communities to bring about gender transformative behaviour change, by mobilizing and empowering community actors to fight against harmful traditional practices and support girls’ and adolescents’ rights.
