You always read in articles and on the news about how women are always the rape victims, domestic violence vitcims. But what about the Male victims? They're men victims of domestic violence every minute of the day here in this country and several of them get reported and the majority of the cases when it comes to male victims are not taken seriously or men are often made fun of. There have been recent talk shows about men being physically handled by the hands of men, while women who are often victims have numerous shelters for them and there children throughout the country in every city while men on the other half are treated as no equal and go through nonstop biasis and prejudice system of not being protect; I am asking you the people: Male victims who've been through an abusive relationship on the behalf of a women. In North America including Canada, there were only one single male domestic violence shelter found in all of North America and I am asking for the people to sign petition for Male domestic violence shelters. Men are victims just as much as women are.

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but seeing all of you rally behind this cause is actually making me tear up a bit. It feels like the world is finally waking up to a conversation that far too many people have been trying to sweep under the rug for years and that really says something about where we are heading.

This is just as important as shelters for women. All genders should get help and he believed, despite their gender.

If my son had had support, he might still be alive today. We need greater support and awareness for domestic violence and domestic abuse of men.

I feel really strongly that there is prejudice towards men who are victims of domestic abuse of a very hate fueled radical feminist as there is no/little support and they are treated like criminals or subject to ridicule with social services, courts or police, or even violence under the prejudice they are male and must be the perpertuator regardless of the circumstance. I believe there should be as much support for male victims as female without then "men are from hell, women are divine" mantra from radical feminist that is misandry. I feel abuse is not a gender issue but a learnt pattern of behavior and all victims should have enough support

We need to stop the cycle of domestic violence and that begins within yourself. Domestic violence shelters provide group meeting to help better educate themselves on domestic violence and how to stop the cycle .. Men should get this opportunity as well.

I have been through the process, and predicament. It's not easy, a monster other reasons. Everything is geared toward women. Everyone honestly needs help sometimes. Good luck on passing this and making it a reality.
