Abused Male
Domestic violence, involving women as the perpetrators, now seems on the rise. However, the continued prevalence of violence in homes shows that this global and alarming topic is yet to be tackled with all the necessary political commitment, actions from NGO’s and even family interventions. Due to the fact, there are hardly any to support the male victims. Men in gay relationships can physically and emotionally abuse their partners. Domestic violence can take many forms including emotional, sexual and physical abuse, stalking and threats from the women! It is not uncommon that men participants in research study describe abuse experienced by them during the phone call, including severe physical violence, coercive behaviour, and financial and sexual abuse.

We’re With You!
Many men have been correctly taught never to use their physical advantage over women for offensive purposes. Another reason we tend to think of abuse as a purely male/female issue is that abuse is often represented physically. Male survivors of abuse may identify domestic violence in the same way as other victims. Domestic violence/violence is now seen as a man beating a woman, but the truth is that men are victims of domestic violence/violence just as much as women. The stereotype that men are overwhelmingly rapists is consistent with historical attitudes towards women.
Husbands beat women in an act of self-defense, you know, because some women are evil. Many men are unimaginable physical and emotional abused at the hands of an alcoholic and mentally ill mother or wife. Priests sexually abused underage male altar servers to exercise power over them.
Statistics state that over 40% of victims of domestic violence are males.
The Ministry of Justice reported that 5% of women said their current spouse had physically abused them and 2% of men said their wives had physically abused them.
Peter Hook, actor for “New Order”, lashed out at friends and the family of the late Caroline Aherne, intensifying his claims that she abused him during their three years of marriage.
We live in a patriarchal society where men are expected to be physically stronger than women and hold the power in their homes. Therefore, it is culturally regarded as shameful to know that a woman beats a man and that a man will hardly ever be bold to say, ‘my wife or my girlfriend is assaulting me’.
A meta-analysis concluded that “violent women are more likely to use one or more physical aggression behaviors and use them more frequently” than men, while men are more likely to cause harm. A 2008 review published in the Journal of Violence and Victims found that while less severe situational abuse or changes were the same for both genders, men committed more severe and violent abuse.
Women are more likely than men to experience multiple episodes of abuse, various types of domestic violence and, in particular, sexual violence. In fact, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), one in four men has experienced some form of physical abuse in a relationship during their lifetime. In the UK, a survey found that 9% of men have experienced some form of partner abuse, representing about 1.4 million men, including stalking, physical abuse and sexual harassment. At AH we talk about abused males.
If a woman can make her story credible, a man can be arrested, charged, convicted, and labelled a perpetrator. It is impossible to prove the negative, and that is why you do not do it. An innocent man has no chance against false accusations of domestic violence. Many abused women are conditioned to believe their abusers and powerful law enforcement agencies. Most wives who their husbands abuse are afraid to admit it and look the other way in order to downplay their importance. Once abused by a wife, most husbands don’t talk about it until it’s too late.

Men who beat their wives cannot be considered abused men. People who self-identify as men are subjected to daily violence by partners, both gay and straight men of all educational backgrounds, socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, and of all ages.
Statistics show that many male perpetrators of sexual abuse or sexual abuse actually suffered something other than childhood sexual abuse (most likely physical or emotional abuse or witnessed domestic abuse) when they were young.
Stories of Male Victims
Women are more likely than men to experience multiple episodes of abuse, various types of domestic violence and, in particular, sexual violence. In fact, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), one in four men has experienced some form of physical abuse in a relationship during their lifetime.
AH interviews male victoms. Each male interviewed identifies how they have been abused and how new self-awareness allows for reconsideration of masculinity when the cycle of abuse is no longer accepted or passed on without thought. This blind spot we have as a society for relationship abuse that men can face means we don’t notice how much more common it is than we want to believe.
The story of domestic violence victim Alex Skil has helped bring attention to the under-reported problem of male domestic violence in the UK, leading to demands for greater awareness that men can be victims just as much as women. The Northern Ireland Police Service also ran a campaign to raise awareness of domestic violence and publicize reports of incidents.
Healing Support
Not only is domestic violence difficult to detect, but many victims experience shame and fear as a result of the abuse, making it difficult to recognize them. Unfortunately for these men, society continues to prevent them from openly telling stories of abuse and seeking treatment and healing. Unfortunately, many of the 1 in 4 men will go unnoticed because whether we like it or not, gender stereotypes still exist. Research suggests that while around 25% of the population experiences domestic violence, only about 2.5% to 15% report this abuse.
Emotional Abuse
There is a common misconception that men cannot be victims of society’s ingrained abusive relationships because of the rhetoric of charities and organisations seeking to stop violence against women. Many men feel that domestic violence or domestic violence only happens to them and that no other man suffers the same way. According to the research in this study, 8.3 percent of men reported experiencing emotional abuse in a relationship.
Male abused in UK
According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2015 male victims were more than twice as likely as females to not tell anyone about the violence they experienced. In the UK, a survey found that 9% of men have experienced some form of partner abuse, representing about 1.4 million men, including stalking, physical abuse and sexual harassment. In my nearly 20 years of experience treating men, one in four men is too small when all forms of abuse are taken into account.
NCADV Data
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), one in four men has experienced some form of physical abuse in a relationship during their lifetime. The idea is wrong, as government statistics show: every sixth man will be a victim in his life and one in three of all victims of domestic violence is a man.
President Peter Morris
President Peter Morris said: “Domestic violence against men can take many forms, including emotional, sexual and physical abuse and threats of abuse. Domestic violence against men can take the form of physical, emotional, verbal or sexual abuse. Abusive relationships can take the form of physical, emotional, verbal or sexual abuse

Men who are affected by domestic violence cannot easily open a case of assault or abuse against women or even press for a protection order against a women. Why?
