Quote:
A man was left in "unbearable, searing pain" and scarred for life when his wife poured boiling water over him.
Ken Gregory, 65, from Peterborough, sustained first and second degree burns to 14% of his body in March last year.
He has encouraged male victims of domestic violence to speak out, saying: "Being attacked by a woman is nothing to be ashamed of."

I notice that, whereas when it's the other way around the BBC has no problem finding one group or other to comment on the plight of female victims, there's not a single quote from or reference to anyone who might be able to offer support and advice to all the men who suffer in silence. The fact that the article doesn't even give any statistics concerning male victims shows how 'seriously' this is being taken by the BBC and in general.
