What the petition asks
In the UK men are estimated to make up between 1/3 and 1/2 of domestic abuse victims yet despite this there is little to no funding or support for them in the UK. Local authorities receive no money to help them and there are no publicly funded shelters specifically for men and their children.
This lack of support is harming male victims of domestic abuse everyday and something needs to be done about it.
