Three years later Benhama represented Morocco at the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships in Christchurch. She took three medals across the sprints, but failed to secure gold in any of them, being beaten by South Africa's Ilse Hayes in the 100 metres and Cuba'a Omara Durand in the 200 metres to take two silver medals; with a bronze in the 400 metre event. The birth of her son in 2012, meant that Benhama took a break from racing that year, and was unable to defend her Paralympic titles in London.
