Providing the right support and care for male victims of domestic abuse.

Br J Nurs

Freelance lecturer and writer.

Published: January 2023

This article seeks to update and expand on earlier work published by the author on the subject of domestic violence against men almost 15 years ago. Since 2008, the language associated with domestic abuse has moved on, with most documents such as the newly enacted Domestic Abuse Act 2021 using either gender-neutral or gender-inclusive pronouns. However, men who experience domestic abuse continue to feel stigmatised and ignored by a discourse and framework that are still largely female oriented and driven. The article proposes approaches that the nurse can use to support men who experience domestic abuse.
