“ ‘There are community attitudes that have this idea of what we call sex symmetry; this idea women and men perpetrate domestic, family and sexual violence at similar or equal rates,’ says Chay Brown, research and partnerships manager at The Equality Institute. She says it's an ‘uncomfortable truth’ that men are ‘overwhelmingly responsible’ for most intimate partner violence. ‘And because we live in a male-dominated society in terms of leadership and power structures … people don't want to have that kind of reflection.’ But preventing domestic violence benefits everyone. Violence towards male victim-survivors is also overwhelmingly perpetrated by other men ” (1-6).
