Abstract
Violence against women has become a worrying phenomenon in the Kenyan society
today. It is therethre urgent and right that a deep and searching study should be done on
it. This work is mainly on violence against women and the effects it has on them. We
present the study in four chapters as follows:
Chapter one gives the background of the topic. It defines the term violence
against women, and how the world today has expressed deep concern about violence
against women. It also gives the description ofthe study site and discusses the statement
of the problem, the objectives of the study, hypotheses, research methodology, the
limitations of the study and the significance of the study.
Chapter two presents violence against women. Different types of violence
against women are exposed here. Some pictures to illustrate the violence are also
provided.
Chapter three deals with violence against women in Dandora giving the different
causes of violence there.
In chapter four, the discussion is centered on the theological reflection of
violence against women. We use both the Old and New Testaments for this purpose.
There are some proposals for the way forward that follow. The chapter ends with a
summary of our research work and the conclusion.
