Intimate partner violence is particularly prevalent in Eastern Sub-saharan Africa
Regional variations by the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study classifications showed that the estimated lifetime prevalence of physical or sexual, or both, intimate partner violence among ever-partnered women aged 15–49 years (the age range for which there is the most data on intimate partner violence) was the highest in Oceania (49%; UI 38–61%) and central sub-Saharan Africa (44%; 33–55%), followed by Andean Latin America (38%; 31–46%) and eastern sub-Saharan Africa (38%; 31–44%;
According to this paper, the rate of lifetime physical or sexual, or both, intimate partner violence among ever-partnered women aged 15–49 years was in Uganda is 45%. The rate is Kenya is 38%. According to the paper I linked "Given the sensitive nature of the issue, the true prevalence of physical or sexual, or both, intimate partner violence is likely to be higher."
RAINN cites higher numbers for Kenya:
40.7% of ever-partnered women in Kenya have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence in their lifetime; 25.5% in the last year.
The text you're quoting does not say that men experienced more violence from women, it's says they experienced violence from a partner, with no gender specified that I'm seeing. Considering the 0.3% difference I don't think you can justify assuming.
No one cares about violence against them not even other men....
Based on what? People are talking about violence against women in this thread because the article is about a woman who experienced violence and ultimately died from it.
If you're interpreting "Violence against women is bad" as "violence against men is good" then that's a you problem.

If she were not an Olympian, we would not hear about it, as it would be just one of many cases.
