domestic violence against men

Domestic violence against men involves abusive behaviors—such as physical, emotional, or psychological harm—used by a partner or family member to control, dominate, or manipulate. While society often associates domestic abuse with women, men can also be victims, facing similar threats and trauma. These incidents may be underreported due to stigma, fear of not being believed, or societal expectations of masculinity. Recognizing that domestic violence affects all genders is crucial for providing support, promoting awareness, and ensuring that male victims feel safe seeking help without shame or judgment.
