Male victims of domestic violence have rights too : Comments

By Roger Smith, published 18/6/2015

We recognise in theory that human rights are universal, but we have yet to apply this impartially in practice.

Male victims of Dv do have rights, and can access the various crime victim agencies and government responses. They are not always disbelieved, or always denied. The numbers of women arrested for DV events is rising. Be careful what you wish for because DV services are often less than what is needed even by the women who use them, and family court is quite dismissive of any services provided by women's only services. Do you really want that for men?

Interestingly, women are not always believed, or always victorious in the battle for services and safety. And you'd only have to sit in local court for a little while to realise 'are you kidding? this nonsense is justice? about the silly system. Then try family court!

No, better everyone get over their own personal gripes and stop arguing to take the other side down, to belittle, humiliate, cybertrash etc. That's not where solutions or services are found, or where genuine reform begins. And, by golly, (if that is not a racist remark) democracy is in deep trouble without getting lost in the 'no, she/he started it, her/his toys are bigger than mine squabbles. Injustice is everywhere. And getting worse because we spend too much time being inflexible.

What's the answer? contribute, dont rubbish. I abhore violence and abuse. Not fussed about who does it. Not fussed about stats as they are all rubbish if you did down and examine the limits in questions asked.
