Intimate partner violence is a prevalent problem that affects both
men and women not only in Nigeria, but around the world. According
to the ManKind Initiative, one in three women and one in six to
seven men have fallen victim to domestic violence. Due to these
large numbers, there has been an increase in news coverage, which
has had both positive and negative impacts on how intimate partner
violence has been defined, expressed, and handled. Aje-Ori
Agbese’s book sheds light on the news coverage of intimate
partner violence in Nigeria, including the hidden menace of
female-perpetrated violence against men through an analysis of
three national newspapers and two news blogs from 2011 to 2022. The
analysis determined that women are the prominent victims and face
of intimate partner violence in Nigeria, excluding many male
victims. In fact, if the victim, either male or female, was not
killed or did not die due to a violent attack, it was very unlikely
for the mass media to cover it. Agbese explores why this is
happening and provides information on how journalists and bloggers
can become more inclusive in order to redefine the narrative and
help manage intimate partner violence.
