A lobby group has raised concern over the rising number of men being battered by their wives in the Central region. Voice of Men and Children Network (Vomec) says the trend is shocking in a way that young men fear getting married so that they may not be beaten as they have been witnessing. Vomec national chairman Bishop James Njenga says they realised the number of such cases was rising owing to reported cases by men in their offices. Njenga says there are so many cases which are happening silently since men do not want to be seen as unable to control their wives. Kihiko says they aim at achieving a community where men and women and their families as well as the society respect each other and leave peacefully.
