'Mapping Services for Male Adult and Child Victim-Survivors of Domestic and Sexual Abuse in Northern Ireland' is the second piece of research carried out by the Victims' Commissioner into the experiences and services provided for male victims of abuse.
The research found that greater funding is needed to make sure that dedicated services can be provided to male victims in a sustainable way.
Research showed the need for increased service provision to meet this significant needs of male victims, adequate funding to enable services to deliver in the long term, and more awareness-raising to ensure men can access support.
They found there is also a need for more in-depth understanding of the barriers to accessing support for male victim-survivors and the importance for them to have their voices heard.
