Browsing: Law on abortion

The legalisation of abortion through Law No. 2021-12 amending and supplementing Law 2003-04 of 3 March 2003 on sexual health and reproduction in the Republic of Benin, was a strong decision taken by the members of the 8th legislature. This new law now stipulates that access to abortion (voluntary termination of pregnancy) at the request of a pregnant woman may be permitted. The conditions under which the practice is conducted are also well defined by the new law in application Despite this arsenal set up by the legislator, easy access to safe abortion is struggling to take hold and comes up against certain socio-cultural values.

Benin: 2021 law on abortion, a step forward that must go beyond prejudice.
