Article-Summary: 

For the first time, Kenyan men are admitting that they are at the receiving end of domestic violence. Battered men have now set up a body to protect them from their spouses. The organisation, 'Men for Gender Equality Change Now', was relatively unknown in the country until a dramatic case of a desperate man, seeking assistance, came to the fore.
