The prevalence of domestic violence in Nigeria today has become not only a health concern but also a societal issue. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviour by a person to gain or maintain control over another, maybe intimate partner.This can take the form of  physical, sexual, emotional, and mental abuse. 

Many people have gone through the pain and traumatising situation of silence due to the African stereotype of men being the head of the home and women meant to be submissive. However, due to campaigns and other women accounts many of these victims have been able to voice out their pain to be saved from these gradual life-threatening situations.

It so disheartening when we find out that public figures are perpetrators of domestic violence. People who are meant to speak against domestic violence are now perpetrators of domestic violence, Quite shameful!!!
