No Space for Men

I'm sure you're aware of this but official government statistics usually underestimate the number of male victims. In part because men are less likely to seek help compared to women. Which is also in part because of existing structural problems and discrimination against male victims (things like male victims being reclassified as abusers when they seek help).

There's actually a group in the UK trying to address this right now:

I'm sure using those numbers looks better though. And it already makes a good point about this.

This is by no means limited to the UK, I’d love similar stats for other countries - the US is truly dreadful too.

These things are great but really hard to share. How do you expect me to share 10 pictures? If you put everything on one image it would make it way easier to pass around
