The recent defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard highlighted to the world how men can fall victim to domestic abuse.
Even so, male victims still struggle with the stigma, still struggle to see themselves as a victim and still struggle to get appropriate help.
In this episode we look at the challenges facing male victims and try and understand why society still doesn't easily accept that women can be perpetrators of violence. We also explore why the UK government are only able to help male victims within it's 'violence against women and girls' strategy.
We also hear from Richard; a victim of domestic abuse to hear first hand what he experienced and how he struggled to get the help he needed.
