Did You Realize That 40% Of Residential Ill-use Exploited people Are Men? Yes, They Can Be Damaged As well


Sexual Harassment. Rape. Domestic Violence. Why do these words stir up images, only, of victimised women? Are we gender-biased when we talk of domestic violence? Have we, thus far, discounted the possibility that abuse BY women, AGAINST men, is very real? According to a report, first published in The Guardian, over 40% victims of domestic violence are actually men. Those might be the global figures, but the numbers in India only support it. In a survey carried out by Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF) and MyNation, it was found that 86% more married men committed suicide as compared to married women.



SIFF receives 1,00,000 distress calls from men, across India.



32.8% respondents fell prey to economic abuse, making it the most common kind of abuse.

Sure, the signs of intimate partner abuse are less obvious when men fall prey to it. Was it that time she publicly humiliated you? Or, that time she was too drunk to see straight and shot words at you, like arrows? Did she make you feel worthless? Did she lash out at you, hit you, because you had the nerve to refuse to do the dishes? Nonetheless, the signs are there.
