The UK government updated their sexual assault policy for male victims this seems like a good change

A step in the right direction, however I'm not sure of male victims still being included in VAWG policy. I feel like that will still erase male victims of female pepetrators.

Sigh... they just had to include this:

That statement was groundbreaking in recognising that while these crimes disproportionately affect women and girls

How can they know it "disproportionately" affects one gender, if they have been ignoring victims of the other gender?

Here’s the previous policy for reference https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/630e334f8fa8f553650e42be/Supporting_Male_Victims_2022.pdf

Well, it's full of lies. These crimes affect more men than women.

Also, it does nothing since men can't get graped by women because of their laws!

The fact it took this long for a single step to be taken is really fucking depressing

statement on male victims

Why don't they just issue statements on victims? Gender (which is not always known) is irrelevant.
