So I was made aware that the mens hotlines are actually to seek help if you are the abuser, not the one being abused, now I'm not so proud of the local football club. These were hanging up behind the doors of the female toilets.

I would complain, failing that remove them. If this is Australia I thought it was well known that 1 in 3 domestic violence victims is a male.

It may be worth checking ... well, asking a male friend to check the male toilets and see if it's there is one, and if so, if it is the same (in which case there is a problem), or if it may be gender specific, such that the men's room has different information. I'm not exactly holding my breath, but more information is always better.

It's always possible that they may not think it is appropriate to advertise help lines or groups for male victims in the female toilets.

I grew up in Warragul, Gippsland. The fact that this attitude is so close to home scares me a little

Complain to the football club.

Don't know where you're from but our lines are for the abused.
