“…In the present study, the average age was 20.56 +/− 2.46 years, with extremes ranging from 16 to 32 years. This result is close to that found by Théra et al [7] in Mali in 2014 (mean age: 21 years); and by Amar Wiem et al [19] in southern Tunisia in 2023 (mean age: 21.23 +/− 10.67 years). In Nancy, France, Kolopp et al [20] found a mean age of 23.9 years in 2017.…”

This difference can be explained by the fact that the victims in the present study, who are still students, usually remain single until the end of their university studies.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychic repercussions of sexual assault among female students in Parakou in 2023. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from December 2022 to July 2023 among all students at the University of Parakou. The sampling technique was stratified non-proportional at two levels. The dependent variable was self-reported sexual assault. The psychopathological repercussions linked to sexual assault and explored in these students were: post-traumatic stress disorder assessed with the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-5 (PCL-5) scale; and current depression screened with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale. Results: A total of 376 female students from the University of Parakou meeting the inclusion criteria were surveyed. The average age of the subjects surveyed was 20.56 ± 2.46 years, with extremes of 16 and 32 years. A predominance of subjects under 25 was observed. The prevalence of sexual assault among female students at the University of Parakou was 10.63%. The types of aggression suffered were mostly rape (18 people; 45%) and sexual touching (16 people; 40%), and the aggressors were mainly friends/boyfriends (13; 32.5%), family members (12; 30.0%
