Domestic abuse: Male victims too

It has been a busy year for the Amen, the charity which helps male victims of domestic abuse.

It received over 7,500 disclosures of abuse last year and, as its 2013 annual report shows, most of those contacting the service were married men aged between 40 and 50.

While one would imagine that women are overwhelmingly the victims of domestic abuse, statistics show that men suffer similar levels.
