Support Male
Because few people realize that so many men are sexually assaulted and abused, male survivors are an almost forgotten category of victims. Many men find it hard to trust the authorities or their abuse is kept to a minimum because they are men and have few resources to help the abused man.
Raise Voice
Men are often reluctant to report abuse by women because they feel embarrassed or afraid that they will not be believed, or worse, that the police will decide that, as men, they are the perpetrators of the abuse, not the victim.
Light up
The stigma associated with male abuse can cause men to deny they have been assaulted, or even make them unaware that it is happening. AH acknoleges this minority group proudly.
Misled Data
Some researchers believe that the actual number of male victims may be higher than law enforcement statistics suggest, due to male numbers not reporting abuse.
Be a MAN
The stigmatization of having to “be a man” and not report the abuse they experience is exacerbated by the fact that their male abuser is often bigger, stronger, and capable of inflicting serious physical harm than most women who are being abused.
Wrong Belief
After all, women make up at least 85% of the victims and most often at the hands of male rapists. Despite popular belief, most male offenders self-identify as heterosexual and often have consensual sex with women.
Type of Abuse
Domestic violence against men can include physical abuse as well as emotional and psychological abuse, sexual assault or financial control and abuse.
Male Abusers
Men may be abused by their female or male partners or be victims of domestic violence as children growing up in environments where they are abused by caregivers.
Male child abuse
The latest personal safety survey shows that one in sixteen men have been physically or sexually abused by a current or previous partner since the age of 15, and one in six say they have been emotionally abused.
Counselling
Many men feel very ashamed because they were mistreated, that they failed to stand up for themselves, or that they somehow failed in their role as a man, husband, or father.
Real Case Studies
Real case studies of men abused are available for the members only. Fake name can be used to hide the identity of the case studies. Only the members of the community would be able to access this info. The members can use this info for any legal procedures if needed. This is a continuous buildup of the series of events happened to victims. These data could be used for research and information statistics.
Publications
All of our work is underpinned by a solid evidence base. Throughout the year we conduct research projects, support research in universities and publish data on key issues to ensure that we are leading the way in evidence and data on domestic abuse. AH can have a publication deal of your book or raw data of your research and video, please consult AH for a chat. It could be a joint effort as well.

Under-Reported
Abused Male is under-reported, under-discussed and under-documented and under-acknowledged, domestic violence against males is a major issue around the globe that needs urgent attention. 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. maltreated men often remain invisible, left to a society that considers weak men second-class victims and accuses them of provoking the wrath of their partners
Reporting Issue
Most cases of domestic violence are reported by women, because women are more likely to report it. That does not mean that men are not victims of domestic violence. Men are sadly less likely to report abuse because the stigma attached prevents them from speaking out. Men who may report their experiences of domestic violence to the officials are also at a greater risk of experiencing secondary victimisation by being denied assistance. This is due to the stigma attached of defending themselves against women.
Government’s Attitude
There has been a rapid increase in domestic violence against men and there are hardly any programmes designed to deal with the situation. Government and non-profit organizations spend millions every year to fight domestic violence. However, those millions go to campaigns against abuse of women and children. It is unlikely that a percentage is dedicated to campaigns for domestic violence against men. Viewing domestic violence from a unique gender perspective undermines the true struggle of abused male victims
Research Development
In many cases men are being denied access to their own children and face discrepancies in maintenance issues because women manipulate the system to change the outcome in their favor and there is no legislation to regulate such discrepancies. There are also instances of state health workers spreading stereotypes that a man cannot be raped by a woman.
Youth Education
Reporting male domestic violence challenges the deeply entrenched cultural perceptions of male invulnerability, male victims of domestic violence are reminded that continued non-reporting of these offences prevent them from receiving the much needed assistance and from accessing justice and from accessing support from the family and friends.
Scholarships
Effective measures of justice are still not understood or applied in ways that can support or favor the male victims. Therefore, the risk that male victims will remain invisible and left out of responses to domestic violence is still very significant and remains so until more work is done to make their rights and concerns receive more special attention as it is for the female gender.
