Men are survivors of DV as well

I recently recieved an email

Dear Lud

For the concerned friends and family of men experiencing domestic abuse and violence by their female partners, your phone calls and emails have prompted me to organise a couple of information nights.

Are you concerned about your son, brother or mate being mistreated by his partner?

• What's stopping him doing something about it or getting out of it?
• How can you best help him or support him?
• He's walking on eggshells, she controls his every move, how can he safely do something about it?

Have all your questions answered and gain some tips at the up coming information nights

Now we do know that by far the majority of victims in domestic violence situations are women; and that by far the majority of perpetrators of DV are men. BUT....... that does not mean that we should silence THOSE MEN that are victims themselves victims in DV situations. Men in these situations often feel shame, weak and that they won't be believed.

While the above information sessions are being held in Victoria: Stay tuned as I research this matter more fully. In the meantime if you know a man that is in a relationship violence situation please pass on my contact details.
