Petition Action

Set up more refuge homes for men that have been through rape or domestic abuse.

Petition Details

This can happen to anyone, I think men should start having more support, advice and help if they have been through any neglect such as rape and domestic abuse.
According to data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, at least 4% of men aged 16-59 experienced domestic abuse in 2014/15

Additional Information

Men can be reluctant to say that they are victims, and they worry that they won't be believed,"
"What I'd say to these men is: there's more help out there than you think. The key is to talk to someone."
