ABSTRACT

The study focused on the Impact of Gender Law on Domestic Violence with particular

interest in different communities in Kenya.

The objective of this study sought to find out the causes of domestic violence and assess the

impact of gender law on domestic violence. The research also resorts to investigate the

possible solution to domestic violence.

The selection and identification of 150 people was based on random selection of different

community to represent the entire population.

The results of the study show that cases of domestic violence are high in Kenya. Ignorance

and shame have barred many victims from reporting the cases to the police and other

government officials. It was therefore recommended that there is need to ensure

finalization and promulgation ofthe family protection Bill which provides protection against domestic violence.
