Domestic violence has no gender — anyone can experience domestic violence, whether a woman, a man, or any other gender.
Domestic violence always involves an aggressor who wants to control someone else. That is where it begins: when someone wants to take your life into their hands — controlling everything you do, cutting you off from friends, making false accusations against you, and much more.
We have included a video featuring a man, because it is often harder to convince a man to report domestic violence.
Why? Because he thinks people will see him as weak simply because he is a man.
This is the reality.
But on the other hand, we teach that you are only truly weak if you remain in the same situation.
That is weakness — that is the weapon the aggressor uses against you.
However, if you go and report at the DV Hub in Santa Luċija, you will no longer be weak there.
You will find professional people who understand you, who are ready to help you, and who will not judge you for being a man — because from the cases they see every day, they themselves have learned that in domestic violence there is no such thing as gender.
