Male Victims of Domestic Abuse: Mark Brooks OBE on Breaking the Silence
Domestic abuse is often framed as a women’s issue, but men, too, can be victims of coercion, violence, and emotional abuse. In this episode of Behind the Yellow Tape, J.A. Lovelock speaks with Mark Brooks OBE, Chairman of ManKind Initiative, a leading UK charity that provides support for male victims of domestic abuse.
With statistics often highlighting the tragic reality for female victims, the experiences of men can go unnoticed or unreported due to stigma, shame, and lack of awareness. Mark shares eye-opening insights into the challenges male survivors face, the importance of tailored support, and how ManKind Initiative is working to change perceptions and provide lifesaving assistance.
