Violence against women have continued to be a constant issue in relationships and steadily appreciating. Very recently a pregnant Kenyan woman was physically abused by her husband while neighbors looked on without rendering any form of help to ease the quell . She was 6 months pregnant. According to photo journalist and Activist Boniface Mwangu, who shared to the media various footage of this disturbing abuse:
"She was assaulted by her husband in the presence of her neighbours. She was dragged in the house while bystanders watched without helping and the images that follow after she is dragged into the house are horrific, she is bleeding. The man beating is her husband and she is a silent domestic violence victim. Her neighbours are silent too. This man would have killed her and the neighbours wouldn't have lifted a finger. The man was arrested but released after the victim refused to press charges. She is six months pregnant, afraid ,jobless and currently admitted at Langata Hospital. I'm sharing this video with permission from her and her dad"
He also disclosed that the alleged victim who is currently in the hospital, has lost her pregnancy as a result of the abuse. This would be the second pregnancy she would be loosing to domestic violence. Her husband has since been arrested and bail has been set. He would face the court on the 10th of Febuary.
