Men as Victims of Domestic Violence: Challenges and Barriers
Unique Challenges Faced by Male Victims
1. Societal Perceptions and Gender Norms:
o Stigma: Men are often perceived as the stronger gender, leading to
disbelief or ridicule when they report being victims of domestic violence.
o Masculinity Norms: Traditional notions of masculinity discourage men
from admitting vulnerability or victimization, which can prevent them from
seeking help.
2. Underreporting and Lack of Awareness:
o Low Reporting Rates: Men are less likely to report domestic violence
due to fear of not being taken seriously or being labeled as weak.
o Lack of Awareness: There is less public awareness and fewer
educational campaigns about male victims of domestic violence, leading
to a lack of recognition of the issue.
