dc.description.abstractThis study investigated factors associated with domestic violence against women and its prevalence in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study. A questionnaire schedule and an in-depth interview (IDI) guide were used for data collection, and a multistage sampling method comprising stratification, simple random sampling, purposive sampling method, and systematic sampling methods were adopted in this study. more than half percent of the respondents were cohabiting (i.e. they were not legally married) the result revealed that the majority of the respondents have experienced physical abuse from their husbands, and some were sexually abused. only a few were not victims of domestic violence. so, there was high domestic violence in the study communities. the major cause of domestic violence, among others, in the study communities was 'arguing back'. suggestions that could enhance more peaceful co-existence among intimate partners in the study communities were made.en_US
