Men can be
                                   victims too

1. Men are more likely than women to be the victims of general violence as opposed to domestic or family  [ABS].
   
   

2. 10% of all male homicides are committed by women.
   In 70% of these cases, there is a history of domestic violence against the woman [VLRC].
   
   

3. 90% of males who have been physically assaulted identify their perpetrator as male [ABS].
   
   

4. 16% of men report being physically assaulted by a woman.
   When women are violent towards men, it is more likely to occur in self-defence and/or in response to stress and fear associated with violence against them by their intimate partner [ABS].
   
   

5. While men are more likely to be physically assaulted by a stranger, women are more often assaulted by a current or previous partner [ABS].
   
   

Violence against men, as with violence against women and children, is completely unacceptable.
