POWER & CONTROL

THE DULUTH MODEL, WHY IT’S TIME TO REMOVE IT FROM DOMESTIC ABUSE TRAINING. How can it be acceptable, in a free and democratic society in the twenty first century, to continue to ignore domestic abuse victims and their children, simply because, they don’t fit the narrative of a sixty-year-old, twentieth century, radical feminist ideology? An ideology that displays an obvious willingness, to overlook female, (straight, gay, bisexual or trans) perpetrators and an ideology that i

THE SOCIETAL ABUSE OF MEN

Societal abuse is a form of active abuse, that refers to the disadvantages an individual or group experiences, as a result of unjust social structures. In this case, the group that I’m referring to, is abused men. Particularly, gay, straight, bisexual and trans, male victims of domestic abuse and their children. All categories of societal abuse involve the manipulative control of time, energy, focus and connection between people, groups and organisations, in the service of on

Official - Women are NOT the "overwhelming" majority of domestic abuse victims.

If you see or hear any person, group or charity using this phrase, “women comprise the "overwhelming" majority of victims of domestic abuse”.

Whilst DABS fully support female victims,

Women's charity leaders, minimising women's abuse against men.

When do people become perpetrators?

This week, I produced this video. It was in response to an almost identical video that a serving police officer put out but with one big difference, his was gendered and called, "When did HE become a perpetrator?" It is completely unacceptable for a serving police officer to help to reinforce the negative gender stereotype that men are always the perpetrator and women always the victim. Perpetrators can of course, be male or female. I hope you like the video. Please feel free
