Male survivors
We want to ensure that anyone living with the impact of sexual violence and abuse has the opportunity to feel heard and ask for the help they need.
It’s estimated that each year in the UK, 12,000 men are raped and 70,000 are sexually abused or assaulted.
Male survivors might feel they shouldn’t be affected by sexual violence, and perceptions of masculinity and sexuality in society can mean that men and boys feel ashamed or embarrassed.
Talking, reflecting, or asking for help isn’t easy and can be even harder for male survivors of sexual violence. Our free resources can be accessed in a completely confidential way. You can get in touch at any time, either over the phone or via our online form.
There’s more information in our male survivors leaflet [PDF].
