Survey Shows Significant Number of Men are Victims of Domestic Violence

In a new study, it has been reported that two in five of all victims of domestic violence are in fact none. This study contradicts a widespread impression that only women are victims of domestic abuse in the United States.

In the study, which was put together by the men's rights campaign group Parity, it is asserted that men who are assaulted by their partners are often ignored by law enforcement. The studies numbers show that the number of men who are assaulted by their wives or girlfriends is much higher than most would think. 

Domestic Violence: The Male Perspective says, "Domestic violence is often seen as a female victim/male perpetrator problem, but the evidence demonstrates that this is a false picture."

Some of the data reveals that men made up about 40% of domestic violence victims from 2008 to 2009, which is quite significant.
