Podcast: Domestic Violence against men. Co-Presenter Kristen Coggan
It is estimated that 1 in 4 women (27%) experience domestic violence. Sadly, this is a known fact. What isn't known is that 1 in 8 men (12%) also experience domestic violence at the hands of an intimate partner. Men are routinely left in the shadows when they experience DV (coercive control, physical violence, psychological and emotional abuse, verbal abuse etc). Because men are considered the 'stronger sex', society can often not make sense of the fact that they too can be on the receiving end of a tormenting partner. Men are often not believed, which makes their trauma exponentially worse.
Plenty of women are controlling, manipulative and set on eroding their partner's self believe and choice. Let's take a moment to chat about the men on the receiving end, the hidden population.
Thanks Kristen for joining me as we shed light on this topic together.
