Actor Shivam Patil opens up about being a male abuse survivor. His horrid account reveals the consequences of gender-biased laws across the world that deprive male victims from ever finding safety and justice.

Shivam Patil is a Left-leaning BIPOC human rights activist. For speaking up as a male survivor of abuse inflicted by women, he's been targeted and by some social media feminists. This IG post also has some graphic videos in an Indian language where he was being abused by his mother, before he escaped in the middle of COVID-19 lockdown. The Kaur Movement is a UK & Canada based advocacy organization, one of the first to stand up for male victims publicly and call out gender-biased laws that fail to hold women abusers accountable. There's a big void in support behind the few men who are in public light that choose to speak up, especially some non-Western experiences and perspectives coming to light.
