The UK government offers a range of support services designed to protect victims, such as the National Domestic Abuse Helpline and IDVAs (Independent Domestic Violence Advisors), who offer tailored support to survivors.

[ActionBreaksSilence @ActBreakSilence]

Did you know? Male violence against women also extends to digital spaces, where younger women, especially from Gen Z and Millennial groups, face online abuse and threats. This form of violence silences voices and limits freedoms (UN Women. (2021).
@ukhomeoffice @HounslowCouncil

[ActionBreaksSilence @ActBreakSilence]

Recognising the signs of domestic abuse can save lives. Often, women that expereince male violence may not be able to ask for help directly, but there are signs we can look out for—emotional manipulation, controlling behaviour, isolation from friends and family.

[ActionBreaksSilence @ActBreakSilence]

Men are key allies in the fight to end violence against women and girls. As fathers, brothers, partners, and friends, men hold significant influence in shaping attitudes toward gender equity and respectful behaviour.
@ukhomeoffice @LondonCommunityFoundation @HounslowCouncil

[ActionBreaksSilence @ActBreakSilence]

In 2021, the UK introduced the Domestic Abuse Act, which formally recognises children as victims of domestic abuse if they witness, hear, or are otherwise exposed to the effects of domestic violence.

Undefining Masculinity Workshop: Redefining masculinity is essential to preventing violence against women & girls (VAWG). This aims to challenge outdated gender stereotypes about masculinity that contribute to harmful behaviours and attitudes towards women & girls.
