I have no problem with getting across the message that domestic violence is unacceptable but I wonder just why we have yet another inititaive which entirely overlooks domestic violence against men? There's little doubt that men suffer less than women and are less likely to report violence against them, but whatever the proportion of males there are that fall into the category of being abused by their partners, why are their problems being overlooked and in what way would bringing their plight into the scope of the discussion compromise the safety or welfare of the women who also suffer?

Presumably the needs of the other half of the population aren't her or her useless government's concern then because I've yet to hear any of them acknowledge that the problem exists at all and all the available resources seem to be directed at women's refuges etc.....
