Of course, domestic violence is not gender-based. The problem is that men don’t speak up about theirs and worst, most of these victims will go ahead mocking those who speak up or go on a retaliation spree on the women. Which is why women’s case of violent abuse is is on the rise.

Social awareness is a good start and women have taken the bold step to seek justice. What are the male victims doing? How long are they going to cower behind their ego and let their abusers walk free?

After that story I saw on a girl battering her boyfriend to the point of death, I thought that would give men the courage to step up, but no, they are still masking their shame. It’s quite a pity.
