The Socio-Demographic Data of Spouse Abuse Victims in Nairobi City County
Male-Kayongo and Onyango (1984) recognized the need to conduct complete studies in the areas of divorce, abuse and homicide by spouses as well as family issues which end up in court, and although many researches have been undertaken in Kenya in the area of domestic violence, no specific study has focused on establishing the socio-demographic characteristics of spouse abuse victims in Nairobi City County. This makes it difficult to design effective interventions in addressing spouse abuse.
