Most men do not believe or feel they are a victim until sometime after they no longer have control of their life and have become isolated.
One survivor said they felt they were being ‘groomed’.
Remember though, victims are not to blame, they are not weak and they are are not alone.
The charity collaborates and works in close partnership with other organisations and practitioners to support these victims, too.
ManKind were the first in Great Britain to support male victims.
ManKind's expertise derives from directly supporting male victims since 2001, their qualified professionals who manage the charity and their board which also consists of the United Kingdom's leading academics and survivors.
Our aim is to ensure all male victims of domestic abuse (and their children) are supported to enable them to escape from the situation they are in.
ManKind are gender inclusive in their view so they want all female victims (and their children) to escape, too.
