Men are domestic violence victims too

I read with great interest about the many female victims of domestic abuse. (Irish Examiner, Mar 8.)

However, I believe these figures to be inflated so that these victims can account for all the State funding received by them over the years.

What about the male victims of domestic violence, of which there are also very many, but never spoken about? Male victims receive little or no funding compared to their female counterparts. Why are we still in total denial about men being victims of domestic abuse?
