It's not just women who become victims of domestic violence and abuse. Male victims can also experience domestic abuse at the hands of their wives, partners or ex-partners, whether female or male. Men experience many of the same symptoms and effects of domestic abuse as women, including:
physical violence - being punched, kicked, slapped, scalded or stabbed
mental abuse - humiliation in public, isolation from friends and family
sexual assault
