Introduction: The multidimensional crisis (security, institutional and humanitarian) that Mali experienced in 2012 caused a massive displacement of populations, particularly the most vulnerable, i.e. women and children. During the occupation, numerous cases of violence were reported by rights organizations and non-governmental organizations. Objective: The objective was to highlight the contribution of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Sominé DOLO hospital in Mopti in dealing with violence against women and girls during this period. Methods and Materials: This was a cross-sectional study from January 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017 on victims admitted to our service for cases of gender-based violence. The sample size was 20 and was randomly selected. The inclusion criteria were all victims of violence against women and girls admitted to the service during the study period. The non- inclusion criteria concerned cases of violence against women and girls not recorded and managed in our service. Results: In total, we recorded 6971 outpatients in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Sominé DOLO hospital in Mopti during the study period, including 207 cases of violence against women and girls, i.e. a frequency of 2.96%. The types of violence were represented by early marriage (77.30% of cases, n = 160), sexual violence (11.60% of cases, n = 24), female genital mutilation and its complications(5.80% of cases, n = 12) and physical violence (5.30% of cases, n = 11). Conclusion: We found that violence against women is a tragedy that can have physical, psychological and obstetrical repercussions in the short, medium and long term
