Our submission to the Inquiry into the relationship between domestic, family and sexual violence and suicide has now been published. https://t.co/TgFMw4RLmY
Woman charged with attempted murder stabbing of her two adult sons. Again no mention of family or domestic violence in the charges.

The SA Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence has released its report, "With Courage: South Australia's vision beyond violence". There is a 2nd recommendation (2 out of 136) that may assist male victims of family violence. https://t.co/ykTessXOsJ
The SA Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence has released its report, "With Courage: South Australia's vision beyond violence". There is a single recommendation (out of 136) that may assist male victims of family violence. https://t.co/ykTessXOsJ
Great to see this in today's Advertiser! Not only were 1IN3 not asked to appear at the RC, our submission wasn’t even read. No other male organisations were asked to appear or consulted with. It's unlikely anything will change with the dismal service provision for male victims.
As we wait for the release of the SA Royal Commission this description of a male victim was one of 4 domestic violence summaries in today’s Adelaide Advertiser. https://t.co/nAaTEHZ1bt
You will often hear facts such as ‘90% of police charges’, or ‘hospital records’, or ‘prosecutions’ for domestic violence, are against men.
This is typically used to substantiate the ‘gendered’ nature of these crimes.
But such things as police reports make incredibly poor barometers for real life rates, as so few men recognise their abuse, fewer still report it to police, and fewer still, lead to a charge.
Yes – police reports are fundamentally biased, incomplete sources of data, that highlight only how many male victims have been failed by services.
Here, world leading researcher on family violence, expert witness, and psychologist, professor emeritus Don Dutton talks about his unique experiences helping abuse men; and how many fall through the cracks of our broken system.

More and more of us are going through the data behind the recent, and controversial study that found “one in three men have committed intimate partner violence in their lifetime.”
It’s a study that has caused sensational headlines, and endless battles in both comment sections, and around dinner tables alike.
I had thought my previous post had done a thorough job in sharing my concerns, and intended on closing the book on it; but now more red flags have been raised, not necessarily in what the study has in it, but rather, what’s been taken out…
A large cohort of ‘men’ are missing from the data…
Men who reported experiences of IPV, but not as perpetrators, who seemingly have been erased from the final study.
Who do you think they might be?
Let’s take a look…

Many thanks to @1inthree (https://t.co/U6JH3wYXoM) for finding this and making me aware.
Do people realise that talking about violent women, helps women too?
50% of abusive relationships are bilaterally abusive; meaning a woman's use of violence, is the biggest predictor of her also being a victim of violence.
Think about that, when you go erasing such things.
