Help for Men

Although research shows that most domestic violence is directed at women, there are also male victims of domestic violence, in both heterosexual and gay relationships. We believe that everyone has the right to live in safety, free from fear – regardless of their gender.

Telling somebody that your partner is abusing you is difficult; you might feel ashamed, embarrassed or worry that you will not be taken seriously. But for all victims of domestic violence the advice is the same – you are not alone and there is help available.

For more information you can visit the ManKind website or for advice and support contact Men’s Advice Line.
