This dissertation looks at domestic violence towards West African women based in the UK. The study aims to examine the characteristics of West African women, who are the subject of domestic violence and to determine if, and how, they seek help, to identify the extent of the domestic violence to which they are exposed, and to make recommendations as to what could be done to minimize and manage their exposure to domestic violence. The review of literature examines a variety of topics, some of which include the prevalence of domestic violence in West African communities, advocacy and support for West African victims of domestic violence, and barriers to help seeking amongst victims of domestic violence in the West African community. Recommendations for the improvement of services offered to West African victims of domestic violence are detailed, and all of the information collated is analysed.
