Improving access to support for men and boys
What we do
The impact of male sexual violence is compounded and prolonged because males frequently delay disclosure of abuse. The average duration between sexual violence and disclosure is over two decades for men. Delayed disclosure or non-disclosure can increase survivors’ isolation and susceptibility to mental health problems and even suicide. We must stop this. Now.
We are recognised by the UK government as the membership agency for organisations working with men and boys affected by sexual violence. Join us to network with other agencies, receive news and sector information and to help us end sexual violence against men and boys.
Do you want to support us to end sexual violence against men and boys? Any money given to MSP will be used to produce more research, help expand and improve critical support services, and enable us to deliver campaigns to raise awareness of sexual violence against males.
