This book explores the changing nature of domestic violence in contemporary society, with a particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. Moving beyond conventional understandings of intimate partner violence, it considers a broader pattern of abusive behaviour that affects individuals, families, and communities across diverse social contexts. As an interdisciplinary analysis of the impact of cultural norms, religious beliefs, gender expectations, and social structures, it highlights the complex and evolving forms of abuse, including violence within intimate relationships, parent-child and sibling relationships, and wider networks of family and community members. Emerging challenges are also reviewed, such as male victims of domestic violence, femicide, violence against persons with disabilities, and technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Bringing together contributions from scholars across different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds, this volume illuminates the diverse ways domestic violence is experienced and understood across societies.
