WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF MALE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Last week marked another landmark period of coverage on male victims following the burst of coverage earlier on this year (see March/Feb here).

Ian McNicholl came forward and reported the traumatic situation he found himself in which led to his ex-girlfirend being sent to prison for a lenient seven years.

The coverage was broken on the front page of Britain's biggest selling daily newspaper The Sun (1, 2, 3) and also featured an interview on BBC Look North. The case was also covered by This is Grimsby and the Yorkshire Post.

In addition, the Sunday Express had a large feature and there were features in Scotland's Herald newspaper (1, 2).

Lastly, and apologies for missing this, but Liz Lynne MEP also had an article in the Birmingham Post.

What this shows is that the media are still starting to take this issue seriously and see it as an area where equality is not present. If it newsworthy enough to be on the front page of The Sun then there is enough evidence to show that the Government can no longer with any credibility claim that it 'the vast majority of cases are against women'.
