Petition Action

Act against abuse towards men

Petition Details

Offer an anonymous messaging service or a form for men to report abuse.
Regognise that it isn't just women who suffer from abuse.
Offer more support eg therapy/ charities to help with the recovery side.
Offer refuge for men too!

Additional Information

I want this to be acted upon because I feel that women have access to so much support and men have nothing and many men just have to sit in silence and struggle. Men need to be regognised as vunrable too in these situations!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Support for victims of domestic abuse is already available to male victims of domestic abuse. You can find out more about how to get help with domestic abuse here: www.gov.uk/guidance/domestic-abuse-how-to-get-help

Providing refuge accommodation for victims of domestic abuse is the responsibility of individual local authorities. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund additional support and refuge beds for men suffering from domestic abuse, if that's what you want to happen.
