Local authorities do not support male victims, and by their actions they discourage them from seeking and reporting their problems. If male victims were treated the same as female victims, then the statistics of reports of domestic violence between men and women would be equal. Meanwhile, by treating men differently from women, help is denied and men are discouraged from seeking help.
“Different figures are now quoted on the homepage which include men. “When you breakdown all the domestic abuse cases reported 73.1% were against women and 26.9% were against men. (Office for National Statistics, November 2021)”
Indeed, these are “reported” abuse cases. This is a key point, the significance of which is often missed. The figures are based on people who disclose their abuse and seek help. Men are very reluctant to do this. If traditional “victim/perpetrator” gender stereotypes were to be challenged, rather than reinforced, by Government policies, and abuse services were as welcoming to men as they are to women, these figures might change significantly.
“Many local authorities will use ungendered language, but given the predominant “male violence” narrative, ungendered language may not be enough to convince a man he’s in the right place.”
