In England and Wales , approximately one in three victims of domestic abuse are male.

An estimated 2.1% of men over the age of 16 experienced partner abuse in the year ending March 2023 (compared to 4% of women) Women's perpetration of intimate partner abuse is comparable to that of men’s in terms of its impact.

Adolescent relationships can mirror patterns of abuse seen in adults.

There are very few interventions available for women as perpetrators of domestic violence.

Inclusive support services that reflect the reality of domestic abuse are vital.

Acknowledging and validating the experiences of male victims doesn't need to detract from supporting women.

Instead, it strengthens the fight against all domestic violence by promoting empathy and equality.
