Rejected petition Protect men equally from harassment/abuse/violence from women & support equally.

Men are treated more seriously by police in complaints of domestic violence, abuse and harassment than men whom are victims of abuse and violence from their female partners. Inequality for father's in the social, criminal and media organisations.

Northumbria Police release campaign stating: "coercive control is becoming an offence. 4 days to go. Using Children. He says he'd never hurt the children... Unless she tries to leave."

Clear discrimination against men. Pure sexism under the Equality Act 2010.

This is the view taken by many organisations and agencies across the UK and must stop. Father's become victims and children suffer because of this widespread discrimination against men by women.
