The first Home Affairs Committee hearing yesterday on domestic abuse was dispiriting viewing if you are a male victim (in heterosexual or same-sex relationships) - a clear narrative thread in first session was to minimise your existence & need for help/services parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/57…

One in three victims of stalking are male so these figures are a real concern as they show noth men and women are not getting the right police response thttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-44887574

Once, just once, it would display genuine equality if we looked into how men and especially boys are being failed. 1. In education, boys start reception behind and never catch up. 2. Now 60k more women in Unis than men. 3. Men 95% jail inmates. 4. Men 85% homeless x.com/ehrc/status/10…

With current discourse re: women being killed by partners/exes, do we discount the experience of male victims? I work with many male victims of physical assault by female partners/exes or by male relatives/friends of their partners. Are these assaults captured in DV discourse? x.com/Independent/st…

Boys are around three times more likely to be excluded than girls. This is a gender issue for boys, could the fact this BBC article ignores this be relevant to why there is lack of concern for these excluded children? bbc.com/news/education…

Increasingly aware when I was teaching, interpretation of boys' behaviour was being "naughty" or beligerent, when underlying causes were likely same as girls who presented withdrawn, anxious or self harmed. We need to get to grips with presenting behaviours of childhood distress. x.com/MBCoalition/st…
