It was a busy June and we have been even busier in July too! Thank you to everyone who continues to support our work in supporting male victims and survivors of domestic abuse.

[We Are Survivors. @ThisIsSurvivors]

We’re proud to be partnering with @MovemberUK to help ensure male survivors of sexual harms are part of the national conversation on men’s health. Together, we’re conducting UK-wide research into public awareness, attitudes and understanding of male sexual harms, helping to drive change alongside key issues such as mental health, suicide prevention, fatherhood and online safety.

Thank you to Patrick for saying this “I just want people to know this can happen to men as well. There are still people who think because you’re a man you should just deal with it." His ex was jailed for 2 years.

Please contact us and other helplines.

Horrific 20 years of domestic abuse carried out by Karen Palmer on her husband. Daily abuse and violence, economic abuse, tech abuse and isolation - 7.5 years sentence . We hope he gets the support he needs.

On average, 13 men die every year at the hands of their partner/ex-partner, often from the use of a weapon at home. We are therefore pleased to see this (albeit the narrative erases men again...) being put forward by @MoJGovUK @DavidLammy

Our thoughts are with James and his family. Thank you to his mother, Ashe, for speaking so openly and strongly about the terrible experiences he went through, the issues male victims face and the heartless arrogance of the perpetrator. Weak sentence.

After my day today, I wonder if I should...

a) stop making sense

b) do something else

c) try to learn how to be nonsensical and fit in

A vital and important development. Very welcome and much needed.

Once again and quite deliberately, the @ukhomeoffice comms ignore male victims. Their "male explanatory note" is irrelevant. The male figure is 1 in 12. No mention.

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

We are expanding ‘Raneem’s Law’ to 12 more police forces.

This embeds domestic abuse specialists in 999 control rooms, so victims get an expert-informed and quicker response.

With 3.8 million affected in the year ending March 2025, we must go further to protect victims.

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

Our thoughts are with David and his family.

"Berman had "lied to paramedics, police and family members when she claimed Mr Berman had accidentally sustained his fatal injuries".

Thank you to the @CPSUK @gmpolice and the pathologist.

On #FathersDay, our thoughts are with those children and dads who are being deliberately denied an ongoing positive relationship because of #parentalalienation - and those dads living through domestic abuse. We are on your side.

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

A really busy May and June is proving to be even busier. Thank you to all our supporters and great team.

[Paul Lavelle Foundation @paullavellefoun]

Is your mate not coming out to watch the footy?

Or if he does, is his partner constantly texting, calling, checking where he is, who he's with, or when he'll be home?

These can be signs of coercive control & domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, including men.

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

Big thank you to UKSWA for giving us the opportunity at their "I Can" social workers conference to talk about the challenges facing male victims survivors of domestic abuse. Great conversation about challenges facing BAME men. Check out their website: https://t.co/ZIZ92SAhIj
