Eleven years ago, Ms Agnes Siyankoi, a Maasai woman from Kajiado broke cultural barriers by suing her husband for domestic violence. Siyankoi, then 32 and a mother of four told the court how she had been battered all through her 12-year-marriage. She said her husband had beaten her, injuring her back, elbow, collarbone and legs. Her lawyer said her husband strangled her on many occasions.
