'MALE domestic abuse victims who have suffered harrowing violence at the hands of their girlfriends tell their stories in a new S4C documentary this week.

O’r Galon: Cariad sy’n Curo features two men who break their silence to describe how their partners became angry and abusive, even cutting them with knives.

According to police figures, the number of female perpetrators in Wales and England has increased from 800 in 2004-05 to more than 4,000 in 2010-11.

The problem is more widespread than people realise – and the programme, screened next Wednesday, asks if there is enough support available for the victims.'
