UK: Men are victims of domestic abuse too

Article here. Excerpt:

'CORONATION Street is currently exploring and raising the awareness of domestic violence through the character of Tyrone Dobbs who has been suffering at the hands of his new wife.

It is a shocking picture that is being painted in the popular soap but it acts to dispel the myth that only women can be victims of domestic violence.

For one Hucknall man, seeing the images of Kirsty physically and emotionally abuse her partner has brought back to the fore his own experiences.

But recently, the dad of two has decided to come out of the shadows and confront his past to tackle the prejudice and biased attitude that women are the only victims in domestic violence.'
