'WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victim-advocacy group Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) is charging the White House with politicizing the issue of violence. SAVE says Obama's executive order "Preventing and Responding to Violence Against Women and Girls Globally" marginalizes and ignores the suffering of male victims of violence.

According to the World Health Organization, men are twice as likely to die of violence as women. Globally, violence accounts for 14% of male deaths and 7% of female deaths.'
