ManKind Initiative

Our helpline supporting male victims of domestic abuse relies in donations from the public - if you are able to help, you can do so here including sponsoring our fundraisers: mankind.org.uk/donations/

Disappointing not to see any male victim survivors in the room?

We have a first class recovery programme for male survivors of domestic abuse that continually receives great feedback. The programme called "Acorn" was developed and is managed by @MaybeMaz For details, please visit: mankind.org.uk/for-profession…

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek which we fully support. Nearly all the victims who call our helpline are going through psychological and emotional harm! Please do call our helpline or reach out to mental health helplines and find out more info here - mentalhealth.org.uk/our-work/publi…

Does the UN care about boys and men? Well, it doesn’t seem like it… We’ve had enough. The boys, men and fathers of this world matter, too. It’s time for change. New from me for Evie Magazine: eviemagazine.com/post/the-un-is…

No professionals speaking for us. Our Own Words. The survey that broke records in 2026 is still open. Every response adds to the UK's largest ever survivor-led, survivor-designed, survivor-reported dataset. The survey runs annually so we can track whether anything is actually changing for survivors. ourownwords.net

Thank you all for your support last month 👇- a busy May already under way. Huge thanks to our team including @MaybeMaz and all our supporters!

No one is surprised sadly. It is clearer as it ever has been that successive governments want to erase the existence of male victims. Below is just another example.

@PadovaGozzi @youve_got_toby @RashidSunook We use official figures as is important to focus on the issues rather than the veracity of facts. On the 3-5 per week, this is based on 5% of male suicides having been a victim in the year, extrapolated against annual male suicides (5k a year)

@youve_got_toby @RashidSunook I think so. But ManKind have built a great deal of credibility which they will be reluctant to jeopardise by endorsing figures that can't be nailed down. They have indicated as much in this post: x.com/ManKindInit/st…

The ManKind Initiative estimates 3-5 men a week die by suicide due to domestic abuse. You would not know that from this BBC article which entirely ignores male victims. This is gamma bias. This is what institutional misandry looks like. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

No parent should have to face the heartbreak of their child being taken abroad and cut off from their life.Learn more and share bothparentsmatter.org.uk/law-change-to-… #ChildAbduction #FamilyJustice #ProtectChildren

Report shows 27% of domestic abuse linked suicides feature a male victim. We believe it is higher due to male non-disclosure and police and definitely coroners not believing bereaved families because it was a man. @CollegeofPolice @PoliceChiefs @TheVKPP news.npcc.police.uk/releases/growi…

Our Chair @BelvedereBrooks spoke at the @UKHouseofLords' Committee analysing the Domestic Abuse Act. He raised the lack of men coming forward, non-inclusive training, family courts and why they are called victims of violence against women? Start 11:47👇 parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/db…

@ONS stats below show the numbers of men who have been stalked and figures including from current/ex partner and cyber stalking. If you are a man who is being stalked- please get in touch with the excellent @TalkingStalking helpline or call the police. #NSAW2026

Absolutely this👇

Intimate image abuse and false accusation. Traumatised man, needs therapy and withdraws from family. Sentence: £341 fine - £536 costs - no restraining order judge says “ We feel it is not commensurate. It is not necessary"... Completely unacceptable. thesun.co.uk/news/38888496/…

Stalking Awareness Week begins today. This year’s theme, #FatalFixation, highlights how stalking can escalate and the serious harm it can cause. We’ll be sharing more in‑depth posts on Instagram. Follow us there to learn more: instagram.com/ask.marc.black… #NSAW2026

Next Sunday it is the #LondonMarathon and Dan Platt is very kindly running to raise money for our helpline.It takes over 2,000 calls every year from men in distress. If you would like to contribute, please see the link below 👇 Thank you. justgiving.com/page/danjplatt

Our Chair @BelvedereBrooks went to @jamesbarrcomedy fantastic show about his experience of being a gay male victim of partner abuse. It was called "Sorry I hurt your son". Hugely insightful, poignant and also funny! He is touring so well worth going: jamesbarrcomedy.com
