Male Survivors

Men and boys can also be victims of sexual and domestic violence. In the United States, about ten percent of all victims of sexual violence are male. There are many reactions to sexual and domestic violence in all forms, but there may be reactions that can be more specific to male survivors.

Male Survivors may also be more hesitant to report the violence due to societal pressured or the belief that sexual and domestic violence does not happen to men. Sexual and domestic violence is a very personal crime. Many survivors do not wish to share what happened to them publicly and fear that disclosing or reporting the attack may require them to talk publicly about their experience.
