One in Three (or One in Two): The untold story of male victims of family/domestic violence

This is a seriously undertold story, and this website is a good place to learn the truth about the staggering number of male victims of domestic abuse in Australia:

 

http://www.oneinthree.com.au/

 

Men are MUCH less likely (three times less likely it seems) to report being battered and attacked by their female partners than women who are attacked by men, and further, men have less support if they do speak out.

 

Men may face scorn, derision and disbelief when they report being abused.

 

If one considers the vastly lower reporting of these incidents by men, and combines this with the higher number of women who abuse children, it arises that women - not men - are the majority domestic abusers in Australia, Great Britain and the United States.

 

Time to start spreading this truth, and working for change on BOTH sides of the gender equation.

Yes, awful.  I have seen dozens of such PM reports, never got any easier.

 

And familicide, which is what happened last week.

 

(That group of stats could not make it clearer, if some were to look without blinkers).

I wonder, out of those figures, how many men were killed in an assisted suicide situation (Euthanasia).

 

Killed with kindness.

I don't think they are classed as homicide.

Isn't it illegal?

Assisted suicide is currently illegal throughout Australia, but was for a time legal in the Northern Territory under the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995.

It is illegal to assist, but with many, steps are taken to leave the room, or to have the suicide filmed if there are relatives present, showing that they were observers only.  I would guess that some doctors close one eye when informed of such a suicide.  I think that the ones which have received some publicity have been when perhaps an elderly partner wasn't as clever.   Heartbreaking when those are pulled into the media.

Yes, and our favourite pollie, Andrews, dismantled it with the speed of a thousand racehorses.

    I was considering the "at home" situation......

 

   Any medical staff associated with the patient would be sensitive to their needs.

You steered the topic to intimate partner violence in your opening post, therefore misrepresenting the statistics, then later you and others have changed it into domestic violence (which means something quite different).   Then you are surprised that others question the figures.


Boys are often abused by their mothers, or aren't you factoring that into domestic violence? You really should, of course.
