According to the Oxford Dictionary,Domestic Violence is defined as a “violent or aggressive
behavior within the home,typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner”. It is the persistent and intentional abuse of anyone in the home in a way that causes pain, distress or injury.
Without been biased violence/abuse is not peculiar to females only but also to males too. Anyone can be abused domestically, but then, we are focusing on women generally-“the most abused
actually”.
Domestic violence/abuse generally occurs where a person is subjected to an act of force in the home. This act can inflict physical pain on the recipient, it can also cause Psychological pain on the recipient, it can as well cause emotional pain on the recipient.
Sadly, in Nigeria and all over the world, women and girls are particularly subjected to multiple
forms of violence and domestic abuse in homes.
