Husband beating in Kenya

Husband beating in Kenya is very Common.Men who are abused especially by their wives don’t report the matter either to police or any authorities within their reach.In central Kenya region and more so in Nyeri, which has been in the news over men being battered by their wives, men don’t report such incidences or even go for counselling.

Not that I'm saying domestic violence is OK, but such occurrence are nothing compared to what many African women go through, especially those who willing stay with abusive partners due to religious, cultural, or social pressure. As a whole, domestic violence is wrong so let's not laugh at such things. In many cases, these men are not even taken seriously by authorities and are often mocked and ridiculed because of the hyper masculinized notions we chose to project and perpetuate within our African society and culture. It's quite sad and pathetic that domestic violence on women is so normalized that we all turn a blind eye when it occurs to the opposite gender. Wrong is wrong, no matter who it is affecting.
