When they do reach out for help, male victims often risk not being believed. For help and healing options, it starts with knowing they will be believed.
The dominant perspective often posits that intimate partner violence has a female victim and male perpetrator, which skews public understanding and support for male victims.
In the United States, nearly every 1 in 2 women and more than 2 in 5 men reported experiencing intimate partner violence at some point in their lifetime.
Data from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey indicates that the incidence of male victimization is often underreported, yet significant and prevalent.
