Region: United Kingdom
Target: The British Government.
Petition text:
We call upon the British Government to-
1) Recognise the special problems of male victims of domestic violence in the United Kingdom. These include fear of ridicule and the likely-hood that his children may remain with his violent partner.
2) Fund a national network of domestic violence shelters for men and their children (men will not leave a violent relationship unless they can find a place of safety for their children). This will involve, as a bare minimum, ten million pounds a year channeled through the Mankind Initiative and Men's Aid.
3) Work towards equality of treatment for men and women by all government departments in the shortest possible time.
