The issue of domestic violence seems to be on rise in Kenya, as a 23-year-old woman from Kajiado, Kenya was allegedly beaten and stripped naked by her stepsons.

According to video, the woman is currently nursing the wounds she suffered during the brutal beating allegedly orchestrated by her 85-year-old husband. Jane Sankeri added that, her husband ordered his sons to beat her for returning home late from a river.
According to the area Assistant Chief and the woman herself, the suspects who were her husband’s sons who were all older than her, they beat her up and stripped her naked in front of her young daughter. After the beating, she picked up her child and ran straight to the home of the Assistant Chief who took a pity on the mother and child and gave them a place to sleep that night.

A grassroots non-governmental organization known as ‘Networking for women’ has promised to help her seek justice against her husband and his sons.
