Honestly, coming out of the UK, I don’t believe it. It must be some sort of trick

I wonder if the policy includes supporting those boys and men when it is determined that the perpetrators of that domestic violence they are victims of are women.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Where is there any reference to “support boys and men” though?

On mobile, so my search wasn’t entirely accurate (couldn’t check back quickly, so the term used was “policy to support men and boys”). The site returned two articles - the first was from 2022, stating that “men and boys are an ‘afterthought’ in Home Office policy”, the second an article on VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls).

I’m hoping I’m wrong here, but lacking evidence. Got any better sources?

Finally some good news out of the UK.

This seems a gender neutral stuff. Where does it mention boys and men who are victims of DV?

To clarify, all of the previous UK government commitments to men and boy victims of domestic violence are here. There is nothing in this link which specifically mentions them, but the language is inclusive.

worth doing for anyone who qualifies, regardless of how effective it may be, or if there is any trick here.
