Can Men be Victims of Domestic Violence?
Did you know that men can also be victims of domestic violence? Keep reading to learn how domestic violence affects men, and why it’s important to break the stigma surrounding male victims.
Challenging Stereotypes
Unfortunately, Domestic Violence happens to all members of society. However, culturally we believe men to be the bigger, stronger, and more aggressive members of a family unit and therefore less likely to be Domestic Violence victims. However, domestic violence does not discriminate based on gender. Men can experience the same types of abuse - emotional, physical, and psychological - that women do. These harmful stereotypes make it harder for men to report abuse and seek help.
Support for Male Victims
It’s essential to understand that men who are victims of domestic violence deserve the same protection and support. Legal options such as DVOs are available to men, and there are DV assistance services that cater specifically to male victims.
At Genuine Legal we know that domestic violence knows no gender, and believe that men deserve the same level of support and protection. If you need DV legal assistance, don’t hesitate to call (07) 2113 4645 today to schedule an initial consultation with our DV solicitor.
