The Mankind Initiative is the principal, expert and specialist charity in the UK focussing on male victims of domestic abuse. It collaborates and works in close partnership with other organisations and practitioners to support these victims too.

It was the first in Great Britain to support male victims. Its expertise derives from directly supporting male victims since 2001, its qualified professionals who manage the charity and its board which also consists of the UK’s leading academics and survivors.

Helpline:

Our helpline is operated by trained people who can give both emotional and practical support as well as providing information about domestic abuse services where you live.

Emotional support includes:
• Someone to talk to confidentially who understands
• Giving you confidence
• Helping you to realise you are not blame

Information and support includes:
• How to try and access housing and refuge places
• How to report incidents
• How to report to the police
• Legal Services (including solicitors who can help)
• Signposting victims to local councils, refuges and
other support services
• Info about local services and support groups
• If we cannot help directly, we know people and
organisations who can.
