AntiguaSun on violence against men

Story here. Excerpt:

"Unfortunately, the issue of domestic violence in not gender based, and many times society fails to accept the fact that men are victims of abuse too.
...
There are many reasons why we don’t know more about domestic abuse and violence against men. First of all, the incidence of domestic violence reported by men appears to be so low that it is hard to get reliable estimates. In addition, it has taken years of advocacy and support to encourage women to report domestic violence. On the other hand, very little has been done to encourage men to report abuse. The idea that men could be victims of domestic abuse and violence is so unthinkable that many men will not even attempt to report the situation."

The issue of false accusations against domestic partners ties in with this. There are just as many abusive women as men, and their tools of terror include attacks on sleeping victims and lying to police.
