Abstract
This study prevention of male victim's against domestic violence in
Uganda was carried out in the whole of Uganda, sample areas being Kampala,
Kabala, Tororo, Kasese and Gulu Districts. Is a specific aim of examining the
effects, causes, and how to prevent violence on men. In the comprehensive of
the study, the researcher reviewed literature from various scholars on the major
variables as well as different laws and polices of various countries in the common
wealthy particularly those neighboring Uganda. Data collection for this study
involved meeting different categories of people in markets, bodaboda stages,
visiting LC leadership in the area, court, RDC'S office, police in order to explore
all avenues where the victims of domestic violence are likely to go for help. Then
the data was analyzed and interpreted according to the frequency of accuracy to
each factor and to the purpose of the study. Domestic violence is very common
in families however the great reluctance of many men and boys to report sexual
and domestic violence makes it very difficult to accurately assess its scope and
impact. Therefore it is not easy to advocate for a group of people who
deliberately leave with the challenge and are not willing to speak out about it.
The study recommends that the national gender policy 2007 needs to be
reviewed too in order to appreciate and reflect a fact that men do suffer
domestic violence too. Responding to the needs f male victims should be
identical to responding the needs of female victims because they experience
similar situations. The author presents some recommendations.
