In this blog post, we will explore why domestic violence against men is often underreported and misunderstood — from cultural norms to social stigma — as well as how we can help make the victims feel empowered and taken seriously.

No one should have to suffer in silence, yet all too often, those who are victims of domestic violence find themselves struggling with feelings of shame and guilt—particularly when it involves men. Domestic violence against men is a pervasive issue that often goes ignored or mischaracterised by society; this ignorance can lead to trauma and overwhelming feelings of isolation. It’s time for us as a society to recognise the prevalence and seriousness of domestic violence against men so we can start providing the necessary support that they may need.
