Men Can Be Victims Too ポスター

A lot of male victims of abuse have great difficulty defining it as such. This is partially due to the image our society generally has of men. Men are often thought of as strong, domineering and macho. To many, the idea of a grown man being frightened or vulnerable is a taboo, the idea of a man being battered, ludicrous. Hence many male victims of abuse may feel "less of a man" for suffering abuse, feel as though they are in some way not manly enough and ought to have the ability to prevent the abuse.
