Abstract
Introduction: Violence against women (VAW) is a menace that is increasing all over the world. It is one of the most widespread human rights abuses and a public health problem. Most victims of violence against women know their perpetrators. Case Presentation: A 28 year old single lady had a quarrel with her female neigbour. The neigbour’s husband held the single lady’s hands behind her and ordered his wife tit beat up the single lady. The female neigbour then bit the left upper eye lid of the single lady resulting in haemorrhage and pain. The injury was sutured. Conclusion: Men are not the only perpetrators of such violence. Single women are at risk of being victims of violence. To end violence against women, everyone is involved because in some societies such issues are never discussed in public.
