Closed petition Create a strategy to end violence against men and boys with a dedicated Minister

Closed on

We want the Government to create a strategy to end violence against men and boys, and to appoint a minister specifically to lead this. This strategy must address the issue of proportional funding for male abuse services.

The Government needs to specifically address the issue of violence against men and boys as they currently are as they make up 1/3 of all victims. They deserve a minister a strategy and dedicated minister that will guarantee funding for male services with a specific focus on educating not only professionals but men about what abuse is and the tactics/behaviours used. This must be done to ensure the needs of male victims are met, as all victims matter.
