Domestic violence is an endemic social problem in many countries around the world, with many reported cases of domestic violence against women and few against men.
However, in the recent past, there has been an increase in cases of domestic violence against male partners.
In Kenya, male victims of intimate partner violence have become serious problems. Approximately 3.8 women and 1.3 men per 1,000 experience intimate partner violence each year.
