Wednesday is Domestic Violence Awareness Week and this is the real litmus test on whether the Government and councils/police who tend to run local events include highlighting the issue of male victims within their campaigning. Once the week has finished this site will look at who has and who hasn't.
Certainly, from a Government perspective the Guardian revealed that male victims are not going to get a look in and this campaign in South Wales shows how some police forces purposely ignore male victims. But to be fair others like York do include men.
If anyone sees examples of where male victims have or have not been included, then please email the links through.
I noticed the article about servicse in York stated
"male and female perpetrators of domestic violence"
No often you see that. Even when the gender feminists acknowledge male victims, they mean homosexuals males (i.e. still male perpetrators), thus allowing them to continue to spread the myth that violent females don't exist.
