The United Nations has cast aside men who suffer from domestic violence. This is the reality behind the domestic violence campaign known as “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.”

It is a well-documented fact that domestic violence victimizes men and women in approximately equal numbers across the globe. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for example, confirms that each year 4.2 million men and 3.5 million women are victims of domestic violence.
