It's time to challenge the myth of the male victim

2014 looks like being a good year for male victims. It’s not yet the end of
March and already a million pounds of new funding has been found to help men
who find themselves at the sharp end of intimate violence.
First the Government announced £500,000 to help “break the silence” for male
victims of rape, and now the Big Lottery Fund has more than doubled that
with awards to several projects helping male victims of domestic violence
north of the border, including
the charity Abused Men in Scotland.
What this means is that men who have been battered by their wives and
partners; raped by other men and sexually abused by men or women are more
likely to get the support they need.
It’s a welcome sign that we are gradually coming to terms with the idea of
male victims.
WHY DOES HE DO THAT? INSIDE THE MINDS OF ANGRY AND CONTROLING MEN: BY AUTHOR Lundy Bancroft Winter of 2012.
To the thousands of courageous women,
many of them survivors of abuse themselves,
who have created and sustained the movement
against the abuse of women, and the many
men who have joined this struggle as allies.
