From Skepticism to Enthusiasm: Beninese Embrace COVID-19 Vaccination

16 Jun 2023  |  www.gavi.org
A year after easing restrictive measures, Benin shows an encouraging epidemiological situation due to internal policy and the global decline of the virus. A massive vaccination campaign involving law enforcement, religious leaders, teachers, healthcare workers, taxi-motorcycle drivers, public criers, neighborhood and village heads, and the media has been central to this improvement. The authorities aim to vaccinate as many people as possible to maintain epidemiological stability. Despite initial low vaccination coverage, current figures from the Ministry of Health indicate 34.71% of the population is fully vaccinated. The campaign faces challenges such as misinformation and resistance in certain areas, but the government continues efforts to increase vaccination rates, maintaining some restrictions like mandatory masks in public transport and vaccination for healthcare workers.

In Benin, the taboo of cervical cancer is gradually dissipating

27 Mar 2023  |  www.gavi.org
Cervical cancer is the most deadly gynecological cancer in Benin, but efforts are underway to eliminate the disease by 2030. The stigma surrounding the disease is fading as women become more aware of the importance of early screening. Free screenings and treatments for precancerous lesions are available for women aged 25 to 49. The Claudine Talon Foundation has been instrumental in providing free screenings and treatments. Personal stories highlight the challenges and successes in the fight against cervical cancer, with a focus on the importance of early diagnosis and the availability of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes the majority of cervical cancer cases. Benin aims to increase awareness and prevent cervical cancer deaths by 2030, leveraging International Women's Day and Mother's Day for targeted sensitization.

The NGO Mata-Yara, led by Hermyone Sena Adjovi, launched the national tour 'DigniFemme' for the 2022-2023 school year to distribute washable and reusable sanitary pads to schoolgirls in Benin and raise awareness about menstrual hygiene. The initiative aims to impact over 6,000 young girls across 12 departments in Benin. The project, which began in 2019, also includes a sewing workshop that employs out-of-school girls and young mothers to produce the sanitary pads, improving their living conditions. The program has been particularly beneficial during the COVID-19 pandemic, when access to menstrual products was challenging. Other organizations like UNICEF, Assad-Bénin, and Igberado have also contributed to addressing menstrual insecurity in Benin.
