Domestic violence against men has been around for centuries but has largely been a hidden issue. Call it domestic violence or call it domestic abuse - it isn't just women who are victims, there are abused men too. Male victims of domestic violence are increasingly speaking out and looking for support but there are few support services for them, bias against them and little understanding of the issues they face.
