MALE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Article:

Can Male Victims of Domestic Violence Get the Help They Need?

I chose this article because it shows the outcome of a survey/study done on male victims of domestic violence.  A few of the subjects that are addressed are the aggressive behaviors that occur in the surveyed men's relationships and the frequency of the events as well as what prevent the men from leaving the situation.

Video Clip:

I chose this video because it talks about the other side of domestic violence which is seldom addressed; men as the victims and women as their abusers.  

Site Providing Services:  


I chose this particular site because it offers resources such as books, pamphlets, online support and  information as well as information on shelters and counseling groups.  It also features abuse accounts submitted by actual victims.

Poem:

by Matthew D. Leichty
————————
...She never hit, she never struck,
So there was never any concern,
For she left no bruises,
No mark, no damage,
And she loved me the next day...
