Review the way the criminal justice system supports male victims

Closed 66 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to review support for male victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault from partners. We are concerned that men are treated as the suspect and that the police may not take serious statements or start a case where men are victims.
