ABSTRACT
This study "Domestic Violence and Gender Relations in Contemporary Uganda', was
canied out in FIDA (U) Kampala District, with specific aims of examining the
circumstances which give rise to domestic violence and gender relations through
assessing the legalities considered, establishing loopholes in the laws protection against
domestic violence to identify circumstances under which the law can be revised and
suggesting possible interventions which can be relied upon in the revision of the law. In
comprehension of the study, the researcher reviewed literature from various scholars on
the major variables as well as different laws from different countries that control
domestic violence and gender related issues.
Domestic violence is very common in families in front and behind the rails, despite the
legal measures taken. This brings about a growing recognition that it is not easy to reach
full potential if women are denied the chances to fully participate in different spheres in
the society and women's participation has become key in all social development
programmes, be they enviromnental, for poverty alleviation, or for good governance.
The study recommended; advocacy through media, sensitizing men to drop habit of
violence, increasing access to justice, empowering women at all levels to strengthen
individual capacities and decrease vulnerabilities to violence, changing underlying
cultural values of society, statutory life interest to wives, and preparation of bills to enact
health and safety standards to protect women.
