The study used cross-sectional research design where both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed. A sample of 84 respondents was identified using purposive and random sampling. Data was collected through questionnaire, observation and interviews, while analysis was done using Statistical Package in Social Sciences (Version 16.0). Findings revealed that there is existence of domestic violence in the area. Major causes of domestic violence were said to be patriarchy system and poor awareness on effects of violence, poverty, alcoholic and reluctance to change among men and women. Further, all respondents agreed that domestic violence is highly affecting women’s socio-economic development, as it has negative effect and undermines their economic freedoms. Women suffer physically, emotionally, and psychologically as a result of violence, hence they face economic and social consequences that affect their lives.

Women’s silence after being abused and lack of legal services are other findings.
