stopping domestic violence.

Over drinking/drunkardness used to make men threaten, rape, beat and sometimes even kill their wives but sometimes used to do it out of ignorance or unintentionally.When this was realised, the community leaders initiated a sensitization programme that was emphasised through the village public system with the help of volunteers from Nabweyo women's group to encourage and train men on how to avoid such cases.Laws were also set up against domestic violence on anyone who could have committed it and this has brought some positive change on stopping domestic violence.
