New British Crime Survey figures published by the Government (link) show that as many men as women are victims of 'severe force' in a relationship (1.7% men and 1.8% women).
These figures were highlighted by The ManKind Initiative (link) who accuse the Government, the police and local authorities of turning a blind eye to the plight of male victims, especially as the figures are irrefutable when they are the Government's own figures (link). This is because the Government do not provide local authorities with funds, the latter don't ask for it and don't want to know and very few police authorities accept that men can also be victims.
The ManKind Initiative also highlighted the trend over the past three years which show that c40% of male victims of domestic abuse are men.:-

Whenever, you hear Feminist Fundamentalist groups such as Women's Aid, Refuge, The Fawcett Society etc, deny that male victims need help or if they only talk about female victims, then use these figures. Their untruths are no longer sustainable.
