PACIS SC 1.6 | In your family, why do husbands hit their wives?
Background
There is a lot of Physical Violence in households across Uganda. Violence against men by women exists, but most cases of physical Gender Based Violence (GBV) involve men hitting their women. There is an assumption that violence towards women in a marriage is to be expected, and therefore is not a big deal. This attitude allows violence to go unpunished and emboldens perpetrators. It also discourages women from rejecting the violence against them.
Question:
In your family, why do husbands hit their wife?
A - After paying a bride-price, they have the right to discipline the wife
B - To make the wife respect the husband
C - To show he loves and cares for the wife
D - In my family, husbands never hit their wives
