‘For Men To Talk’ contributes to new book on Domestic Abuse

‘For Men To Talk’ proudly announces its contribution to the latest volume in the issues series published by Independence Educational Publishers. The newly released book, ‘Vol. 441 Domestic Abuse’, addresses the multifaceted issue of domestic abuse, aiming to educate and inform a diverse audience ranging from 11 to 18+ years of age. This critical resource is designed to support a variety of educational settings, including GCSE, A-level, Further Education, public libraries, prison education, government agencies, and professional health and social care bodies.

Each year, approximately 2 million individuals in the UK endure some form of domestic abuse. Vol. 441 Domestic Abuse delves into the different types of abuse, presenting facts, statistics, and dispelling myths that often cloud public understanding. It also explores various strategies for addressing and mitigating this grave societal issue.

A significant feature of this volume is the section titled “Men can be victims of domestic abuse too,” provided by ‘For Men To Talk’ for Chapter 1: What Is Domestic Abuse? This contribution is essential in broadening the scope of the book to include male victims, a group that is frequently overlooked in discussions about domestic abuse.

Luke Newman, founder of ‘For Men To Talk’, stated:

“We are honoured to support this vital publication. Domestic abuse affects people of all genders, and it is crucial to recognise that men can also be victims. Our goal is to break the stigma and encourage open conversations about male victimhood in the context of domestic abuse. By contributing to this book, we hope to foster a more inclusive understanding and provide much-needed support to all victims.”

The inclusion of the section on male victims is a critical step toward comprehensive education on domestic abuse. Men often face unique challenges when it comes to reporting abuse and seeking help, due to societal expectations and gender norms. The stigma and isolation that male victims may experience can hinder their ability to access necessary resources and support.
