Domestic violence in Uganda explained

Domestic violence in Uganda is a problem as it is in many parts of Africa.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

There is a deep cultural belief in Uganda that it is socially acceptable to hit a woman to discipline her.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

Wife beating costs the Ugandan economy billions of shillings per year.[14] [15] [16] [17]
