Abstract
Domestic violence, a significant public health concern, remains prevalent in low- and middle-income countries. While developed nations have successfully implemented preventive measures that have led to a reduction in domestic violence incidents, developing countries, such as Nigeria, encounter enduring challenges. This article delves into the patterns of domestic violence across Nigeria's socio-culturally and economically diverse geopolitical regions, analyses effective strategies employed in developed nations, and proposes approaches suitable for the unique context of Nigeria.

Key words: Domestic violence, Developing countries, Nigeria
