USA: "National survey from 2020 conducted by YouGov reveals 8% of Americans report being falsely accused of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, or other forms of abuse. The 2,407 survey respondents were representative of the U.S. adult population. The 8% figure represents 20.4 million adults. In 62% of cases, the false accusers were reported to be females. Often, the false allegation was made in the context of a child custody dispute — 27% of cases. The survey found a sharp gender divide – 11% of men, compared to 6% of women — reported being falsely accused. False allegations were fairly evenly distributed across the four abuse categories. Asked, “Has anyone you know ever been falsely accused of ______?”, respondents answered as follows: Domestic violence: 17% Child abuse: 17% Sexual assault: 16% Other form of abuse: 11% False allegations represent a serious threat to justice. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, false allegations and perjury are the most common contributing factor to wrongful convictions, constituting 59% of such cases (1). False allegations harm the social standing, career prospects, and mental health of the accused; diminish the credibility of future victims; and undermine the integrity of our legal system. Lawmakers are beginning to enact legislation designed to deter false accusations, such as New York State’s “anti-Karen” law (2). This survey is believed to be the first on this topic ever undertaken. The respondents consisted of a nationally representative sample of American adults aged 18+. Fieldwork was undertaken September 23-25, 2020. The survey was carried out online. This survey was conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov panel of persons who have agreed to participate".

The expert provides data on false accusations of domestic violence and their effects on men. "How common are false allegations of domestic violence? Our research shows that threats to make false accusations are common in situations where women perpetrate violence against men. 73% of men who experienced female-perpetrated violence reported that their partner threatened to make false accusations versus less than 3% of males in the general population. Among men who experience female-perpetrated violence, 56% said their female partners actually did make false accusations that he physically or sexually abused her, compared to less than one percent in the general population. Why would people falsely accuse their partner of domestic violence? False accusations are a form of domestic violence, another tool in an abuser's "toolbox." They are a way for abusers to further manipulate, control, and maintain power over their partners. Our studies show that women are significantly more likely to use false accusations of domestic violence against their male partners than the other way around. It is likely that a female perpetrator is able to engage in these behaviors because of existing widespread misconceptions in both the public and legal sector that domestic violence is exclusively something that men do to women. Why is it important to address stereotypes about female-perpetrated domestic violence and false accusations? There are many accounts in the scholarly literature from men who spent much money, time, and other resources to prove their innocence in a court of law because of restraining orders being filed against them under false accusations of abuse; men who said the police assumed the men were at fault; and men whose wives used domestic violence service agencies to further manipulate the men (e.g., by telling the services they were the victims and then using that against him in further legal battles). Employees of relevant non‐governmental (e.g., domestic violence agencies) and governmental (e.g., family courts) agencies often hold stereotypes that men are always the perpetrators of domestic violence and that women are always the victims, making it difficult for men to seek services. How common is domestic violence victimization? The most recent domestic violence prevalence data from the U.S. comes from the 2015 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), a national study of 5,758 women and 4,323 men that provides information on victimization from sexual violence, partner physical violence, stalking, and psychological aggression. According to the NISVS: About 1 in 3 men and women (34% of men, 36% of women) reported lifetime IPV that encompassed any contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking. In addition, 14.9% of men and 21.4% of women reported lifetime severe physical IPV victimization (e.g., hair-pulling, hit with fists, beating, burning, choking). When considering the percent of IPV victims by sex, NISVS reports that a substantial portion are men: For lifetime rates, the NISVS showed that approximately 46% of all IPV victims, which includes any contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking victimization by an intimate partner, were men, while 54% were women (calculated from Smith et al. 2018). Similarly, approximately 47% of all IPV victims in the past year were men, while 53% were women (calculated from Smith et al. 2018). What are the key differences in what female vs male victims of domestic violence experience? Men's experiences with domestic violence are not that different from women who experience it in terms of mental health, physical, and even sexual abuse. The key difference is around seeking help. Men are less likely to seek help on a broad range of mental and physical health issues. Coupled with society viewing domestic violence as a women's issue, it is hard for men to identify what's happening to them as domestic violence. They often think "my partner is mentally ill," not "I need help."

“The false allegation rates from 19 sources [are estimated to be] anywhere between 1.5% and 90% ... not very helpful.” Excellent article analysing this complex and controversial topic by the highly respected Dr Rick Bradford "The mental health impact on a man of having a false allegation of rape made against him can be devastating, and it is not uncommon for such men to become suicidal. However, the quest to estimate the rate of false allegations of rape is like hunting the snark: one does not even know what it is one is looking for, let alone where to find it. Unlike the snark, however, we know it exists. I focus here on female victims. Perpetrators of rape in English law are necessarily biological males. What constitutes an “allegation”? An anonymous claim in a social media post, such as #MeToo? Or an allegation made within a family court submission over contested child contact where bitterness is the ruling passion? Or a report to the police which may not result in a prosecution – or perhaps only those that do?"

This deficiency problem makes false accusations accountable and needs to be resolved urgently as victims are increasing worldwide and the negative impact on victims is enormous. Prison is the right place for liars because no man is safe while women making false accusations walk the streets free. "One of the falsely accused men, Malik St. Hilaire, sadly recounted, “I went from being a college student, to sitting at home being expelled, with no way to clear my name. I just hope she knows what she has done to me. My life will never be the same. I did nothing wrong, but everything has been altered because of this.” But the punishment placed on Yovino stands in sharp exception to the rule. Even though all states have laws that prohibit false allegations and false swearing, prosecutors often ignore these violations of the law. False allegations are widespread in the United States. A national survey sponsored by the Center for Prosecutor Integrity found that 8% of Americans — 11% of men and 6% of women — report being falsely accused of sexual assault, domestic violence, or child abuse. The 8% figure represents 20.4 million adults (2)".

Can you believe all women as women's organizations try to tell us? Don't believe all women, but believe the evidence. "The purpose of this study was to identify common factors in false allegation adult crimes, by examining the dynamics involved in 30 confirmed false allegation cases. The authors conducted a comprehensive review of these adjudicated cases and then completed a collection instrument to capture offender demographics, offense characteristics, and motive. The results indicated that most false allegation crimes were committed by women (73.3%) and Caucasians (93.3%)".

A new public opinion poll in the US confirms that the number of false accusations is increasing and more and more men are suffering from it. "WASHINGTON / February 27, 2023 – A new national survey reveals 10% of Americans report they have ever been falsely accused of domestic abuse. Recent news accounts involving high-profile personalities echo the growing problem of false allegations. Broken down by sex, the survey found 13% of males and 8% of females were targeted by a false allegation. Asked about false allegations against “anyone you know,” 58% of respondents reported the false accuser was a female. 31% said the false accusation was made as part of a child custody dispute".

As a result of the lack of accountability of women for crimes of false accusations, many men in different countries have already been harmed, and public opinion polls confirm this. "newly released international survey suggests false allegations may not be “extremely rare.” Conducted in Europe (United Kingdom, Poland, and Spain), North America (Canada and United States), South America (Argentina), India, and Australia, the survey found that significant numbers of persons in these countries report ever being falsely accused of abuse: India: 19% Australia: 10% United States: 10% Canada: 8% Argentina: 7% United Kingdom: 4% Poland: 4% Spain: 4%" More in link endtodv.org/survey-false-allegations-of-abuse-are-a-global-problem-women-most-often-the-accusers/#men #women #equal #father #discriminationmen #discrimination #segregation #falseaccusations #domesticviolence #childsupport #equalparenting #parentalalienation #divorce #fraud #falseaccusationsrape #fatherless #childsharecustody #fahtermatter #law #brokenlaw #familylaw #court #depression, #depressionafterdivorce #Divorce #effectsofdivorce #health #masculinity #mentalhealth #suicidal #suicide #equalpay #equalwork #menrights #humanrights

False accusations are already a global problem as they affect men all over the world. "The False Accusations Observatory, under the umbrella of the Ayudar & Crecer Foundation, urgently communicates the need to act in the face of the growing wave of false accusations that harm innocent individuals and their families in Argentina. This phenomenon not only causes irreparable damage to the lives of the people affected, but also leaves the true victims of real crimes unprotected. We call on society, legal and political institutions, to implement urgent and effective measures to stop this problem eroding our justice system. It is crucial that the true victims receive the protection and justice they deserve and that the innocent are safeguarded from the devastating consequences of false accusations. According to the data collected by our Observatory, it is noteworthy that 71% of the reported cases are people who are directly harmed by false accusations. In addition, a significant 28% of the reported instances come from third parties – usually close relatives, friends, or acquaintances. This situation mainly occurs when the person directly affected has been unjustly detained or convicted as a result of the false accusation. Our reports reveal that the greatest number of false accusations are made in the context of “gender violence”, followed by false accusations of child sexual abuse and obstruction of child access. These are followed by false accusations of rape, domestic and intra-family violence, false accusations of violence, social media and media public shaming, and sexual harassment. It is important to highlight that in the vast majority of situations, approximately 80%, the party making the accusation does not provide more evidence than their own testimony, which reveals a possible favorable inclination towards their gender. In a broader perspective, a notable 87% of individuals affected by these false accusations declared that the accusing party was a woman, which provides an important perspective regarding the gender distribution in these incidents. The overall trend shows that 66% of those affected claim to have enough evidence to prove the false claim. However, 43% of them affirm that the evidence offered by them is arbitrarily ignored by the courts".

We agree, Dr. McCarrick, that false accusations should be recognized as violence and provided with the same help as other victims. "Intimate partner violence should be viewed as a human issue rather than a gender issue, argues Dr McCarrick and there should be more services and support to enable men to seek the help and sanctuary they desperately require. ‘Within my research, the predominant experience is of men being arrested under false charges and their disclosures of being the victim are not taken seriously, despite having evidence. ‘Men find it incredibly difficult to talk about their experiences of domestic violence because of the shame and emasculation they feel is associated with it. To find the courage to speak out, only to be accused of violence themselves, is incredibly disheartening and ultimately prevents countless men from reporting intimate partner violence.’ Dr McCarrick is calling for more understanding of the emotional experiences of men and encouraging a more balanced, gender-informed perspective of domestic violence."

Give women weapons and they will not be held accountable for using them against their intentions, and they will use them for their own selfish purposes to destroy the lives of men and children. "Curiously enough, many people in the community know that false accusations are regularly made, although accusers are seldom punished. For example, in a survey with over 12,500 Australian respondents, more than half agreed with the statement that ‘women going through custody battles often make up or exaggerate claims of domestic violence in order to improve their case, and only 28 per cent disagreed.’[7] This was confirmed in a survey of 68 families by Dr Sotirious Sarantakos, an associate professor of sociology at Charles Sturt University. His survey reveals that a considerable number of allegations are either false or unsubstantiated. Accordingly, ‘the initial allegations of DV were modified considerably by them during the course of the study, particularly when they were faced with the accounts of their children and mothers, admitting in the end that they were neither victims of violence nor acting in self-defence’.[8] A survey of 38 magistrates in Queensland reveals that 74 per cent agree that DVOs are often used for tactical purposes related to such disputes.[9] Likewise, another survey of 68 magistrates from New South Wales indicates that 90 per cent agree that DVOs are commonly sought as a ‘tactical device’ to aid applicants with court disputes and/or to deprive former partners of contact with their biological children.[10] As noted by Bettina Arndt AM," More in link quadrant.org.au/news-opinions/the-law/the-use-and-abuse-of-dvos/
