According to a Kenyan crime-reporting institution, the number of men who are victims of violence by women is gradually increasing. But, difficult for now to determine the causes of this phenomenon.
Behind a woman with Apollonian or angelic beauty, can hide a monster as pitiless as Lucifer. As hyperbolic and stigmatizing as it may seem, this precept is far from being questioned by the Kamande case in Kenya.
Ruth Kamande, it is this girl who had been elected "miss prison" in 2016 and was sentenced last May to death by a Nairobi court for murdering his companion. In 2015, at the age of 21, Ruth Kamande quarreled with her boyfriend Farid Mohamed and administered 25 stab wounds. And Mohamed dies on the spot.
But the Kamande case is far from unique in Kenya. While human rights institutions often highlight violence against women by men, women also rape men outside or in the home. In 2014, Sheila Kibinge had strangled her husband. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Her comaptriot Martha Auma Nyargol had also murdered her husband. The cases are numerous.
Several methods
A study conducted in 2014 by the National Crime Research Center shows that while violence against women has remained constant over the years, rates of violence against men increase. "The prevalence of gender-based violence was 38% for women and 20.9% for men in the past. But, in recent times, it is 37.7% for women and 48.6% for men, "explains the document cited by a local body site.
Machete, knife, strangulation, poisoning, …. Several methods and weapons are used by some Kenyan women to shorten the lives of their spouses when they are carried away by anger.
While there are few details on several aspects including the methodology used to conduct the research, The study is also not very talkative about the causes of this increase. Several hypotheses are then evoked, including self-defense, frustrations and jealousy. But, some jurists and psychologists, poisoning for example is a premeditated crime.
