| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed at finding out factors that lead to domestic violence against women
in Laini Saba of Kibra. Data were collected using the survey method, direct
observation, focus group discussions and key informant interviews. The study found
that cultural factors, social factors and economic factors fuelled violence against
women who live in the research site. The study also found that battered women do
not seek help from families or legal aid and when they do, police and legal help
agents are reluctant to help. The study, therefore, concludes that while many
traditional practices are slowly dying due to modern ways of life, beating women in
Laini Saba seems to have defied the process | en_US |
