Male Victims of Domestic Abuse – Please call 01823 334244 to speak to ManKind Initiative confidentially

​

Their confidential helpline is available for male victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence across the UK as well as their friends, family, neighbours, work colleagues and employers.

 

ManKind provides an information, support and signposting service to men suffering from domestic abuse from their current or former wife, partner (including same-sex partner) or husband.

​

This can range from physical violence or object throwing to abuse such as constant bullying or insults.

 

The helpline is a listening service which provides emotional support, practical information and signposting.

​

We receive calls from male victims of domestic abuse across all age ranges and professions:

• From dustmen and doctors, to, bankers and builders

• From men in their 20s to men in their 80s

• From men in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

 

The helpline also welcomes calls from friends, family members, neighbours, colleagues and employers of male victims seeking information.

​

Mark Brooks OBE, chair of the ManKind Initiative charity for male victims of domestic abuse, said: “ A huge thank you to Lena at Siren Lashes for supporting our charity’s helpline, it will make a real difference to the men we help. We also get lots of calls from mothers, sisters, daughters, female friends and work colleagues worried about a man they know who is trapped in an abusive relationship. They play a key role in helping men escape so if you are like them and know a man close to you who is this in this situation, please also call us and persuade him to.”
