Response to a Blog : Domestic Abuse

The Comment:

"Males subject to abuse from their spouses are the least unlikely to make a report of this sort as many feel embarrised or ashamed to seek halp after being attacted. The stigma around this needs to be removed, taking a step forward for all those being abused"

My Response:

I agree that both men and women should be able to tell someone about abuse in the same way, without feeling like there's someone laughing at them or calling them weak. People make such a big deal that women get beaten by their partners, but very few think about the men who are taking abuse too.
Abuse in any form, to anyone is wrong and should all be treated equally. Society should be pulling together to make these people feel safe and let them know there is support.
