BCWA Male Victims Consultation |
Welcome
Black Country Women’s Aid is an independent charity which has supported survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence in the West Midlands for 30 years.
The service’s sensitive and holistic support and refuge services help victims of domestic abuse, rape and sexual violence, child sexual exploitation, modern slavery and women involved with the criminal justice system to escape from violence, cope with trauma and rebuild their lives.
Our aim is that victims and survivors feel able to contribute to this consultation and benefit from the strategy that is developed from the results. These forms of violence and abuse are disproportionately gendered, with the majority of victims/survivors being women. But we also know that many men are also victims and this consultation is therefore an opportunity to better understand how we can support men who have experienced violence and abuse and how to build services that are more accessible for men.
We therefore encourage the views of all victims and survivors: women, men and those who identify as non-binary to participate.
Whilst we offer most of our services in the Black Country, we would like to hear from people who live and work across the West Midlands, to enable us to gather a wider range of perspectives and experiences.
Luke Martin, a Specialist Consultant in working with male victims has been commissioned to conduct an independent consultation to gather the views of who live, work or travel to the West Midlands about these forms of violence and abuse.

- People who have contact with victims/survivors or perpetrators in a professional capacity.
