Domestic Violence: Latest News, Resources & Support Across Africa

Why Domestic Violence Matters
Domestic violence isn’t just a private problem – it hurts families, neighborhoods and whole societies. When a partner or family member uses physical, emotional or financial control, the damage spreads to children, schools and workplaces. Knowing the facts helps communities act faster, stop the cycle and protect victims.
What You’ll Find Here
We pull together news stories from sports, politics, health and everyday life that mention domestic violence. Whether it’s a coach dealing with family tragedy, a public figure speaking out, or new research on trauma therapy, each piece adds to the bigger picture.
Our tag also points you to local hotlines, counseling services and legal advice centers across South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and other countries. You’ll see contact numbers, web pages and brief guides on how to reach help safely.
One example is a recent report about a high‑profile coach whose wife was in a critical accident – the story sparked conversation about stress, mental health and family safety. Another piece covers protests in Zimbabwe where abuse accusations against officials have led to calls for investigations.
We don’t just list headlines; we break down what each story means for victims and supporters. For instance, when a football club’s manager steps away after a personal crisis, we explain how that can affect the team’s dynamics and why clubs should offer counseling.
