1 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background to the study Violence against women is a worldwide challenge that is increasingly attracting the attention of citizens, states, and the international community. Measures taken by the United Nations (UN) to address violence against women, including adoption of the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women are a clear evidence of the growing global understanding that the international community recognizes that violence against women constitutes a violation of human rights (UN, Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, 1993). According to an opinion poll carried out in the United Kingdom in 2013, a quarter of the nation's population lives with violence against women. The report indicated that almost one in four of those surveyed had been involved in acts of physical abuse within a relationship, either as assailant or victim. Of the more than a thousand persons interviewed, 27% of women and 21% of men said they had been involved in a domestic incident involving physical fighting, punching, kicking, or having sex against the will of one partner. Out of those who had been involved in incidents of violence against women, 37% of women went to the police, compared with 19% of men. Yet many held that it remains a private matter, with almost half of those questioned believing that what happens behind closed doors is for the couple to sort out themselves (BBC News Online, 2013 by Gould Peter). Violence against women is a hidden problem that causes victims to suffer in silence. It occurs in all cultures and socioeconomic groups as well as same sex relationships. Not ruling out the fact that men also do suffer the ordeal, research evidence indicated that children and women are affected most by the violence in the family. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) in Kenya conducted a national survey on violence against women in 2005 and found out that approximately 1.5 million women are raped and/or physically abused by an intimate partner annually. Approximately 25% of women had been raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse,
