dc.description.abstractVictims of domestic violence (DV) are more often than not, women and children. However, studies have shown that men are also victims of DV. The main objective of this paper is to assess the predictors of DV against men in Nigeria. Data were generated from 2013 NDHS. Using SPSS version 21 and multivariate logistic regression analysis, the findings indicated that region, education, marital and employment status, experience of violence and partners’ alcohol consumption were significant predictors of DV against men. Highly educated, divorced and separated, employed women, those respondents whose husbands/partners drank alcohol, women who had experienced domestic violence and those who resided in North-East (OR=8.029; p<0.01), North-Central (OR=1.621, P<0.05), South-East (OR=2.157; p<0.001) and South-South (OR=1.932 p<0.001) zones were more likely than others to perpetrate violence against their husbands/partners. Both partners should be counselled and educated about the dangers of domestic violence. Vulnerable men should be encouraged to speak out.en_US
