Men as Victims of Domestic Violence: Challenges and Barriers
Unique Challenges Faced by Male Victims
1. Societal Perceptions and Gender Stereotypes:
o Stigma and Shame: Men often face societal stigma and shame when they
admit to being victims of domestic violence. Traditional gender roles
perpetuate the belief that men should be strong and dominant, making it
difficult for them to acknowledge victimization.
o Disbelief and Mockery: Male victims may not be taken seriously by friends,
family, or authorities. They risk being mocked or disbelieved, which can
discourage them from seeking help.
2. Underreporting:
o Fear of Not Being Believed: Men might fear that their reports will not be
taken seriously by law enforcement or support services, leading to
underreporting of incidents.
o Self-Blame: Male victims might internalize the abuse and blame
themselves for the situation, further reducing the likelihood of reporting.
