Institute the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Men"

The Issue

Studies have shown that more than 40% of domestic violence victims are male, yet very few people know about this, and far less help is available for abused men than for women. While protecting women and children from domestic violence is of utmost importance, we must not forget about our men either.
