I submitted three features on gender violence. One looks at marital rape, the other zeroes in on violence against pregnant women and the last one is on domestic violence against men. The article on marital rape is a good example of gender in media content because marital rape is fiercely debated subject. There are still men who believe the law on marital rape is senseless. The feature on gender violence against men was submitted because stories of men being abused by women are few even though abuse against men is rampant. Its meant to make men come out and admit that they are victims so that the problem of violence against men can be dealt with. The Zimbabwe Demographic Health Survey revealed that 5 percent of pregnant women are abused by their partners. The feature is a good example of gender content in media because its a follow up of the survey finding.
