Only 7.9% of all women aged 15-49 in Benin use contraceptives. Indeed, this low figure means Benin is at the bottom of the ranking in terms of access to contraception. What is worse, of all young people, which is about one third of the country’s population, only 4.2% of all 15-19 year-olds and 5.7% of all 20-24 year-olds use modern contraception, even though half of them are already sexually active before the age of 18.
