ARE YOU A MALE VICTIM?
Although research shows that domestic violence effects mostly women, there are also male victims of domestic violence.
Asking for help doesn't make you weak. Telling somebody that your partner is abusing you is difficult; you might feel ashamed, embarrassed or worry that you will not be taken seriously. But for all victims of domestic violence the advice is the same - you are not alone and there is help available.
