Every 37 seconds, a man is physically assaulted by an intimate partner, (Department of Justice, 2000).
|
THE PROBLEM:
Men are also victims of abuse at the hands of women, as much as 50% of the time, and no one is talking about it. Men need acknowledgment and support to overcome the abuse they endure, but most are left to 'go it alone.'
|
THE MISSION: Awareness -- Education -- Assistance
To increase community awareness about the abuse of men by women and work toward a balanced perspective on the problem of partner abuse;
To educate men who are victims and woman who abuse, assisting and encouraging them to build healthy relationships and strong families;
To advocate for abused men and provide resources to assist them.
