"Beninese women generally don't encounter outright opposition from men, yet achieving equality remains challenging in a male-dominated political landscape. A family code that would grant women inheritance and property rights, the option for monogamous marriage, and raise the minimum legal marriage age from 12 to 14 has yet to be passed by the National Assembly. Additionally, many women are actively opposing the African tradition of female circumcision."
