Listen to Him: Male Victims of Domestic Violence
For Us Nation would like to create space for men to be vulnerable and able to express their history with domestic violence, specifically when they have been the victims.
1 in 4 men have, or are, victims of domestic violence, and many are "silent sufferers". October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we wish to give a platform to men for them to discuss and bring awareness to this topic. Hopefully this will be one of many.
For Us Nation is a nonprofit, and therefore we ask that you donate to assist us in creating more programs, hiring mentors, and building a bigger and better nonprofit.
