I SEE that a campaign to reduce domestic violence is starting up and hope all goes well for with this – but don’t forget men who are abused.

There was a television programme on other night about a woman beaten up by her husband and suffering appalling injuries.

This man deserves a long sentence as nobody should suffer such abuse. But the programme only showed women who have been abused.

I hope the campaign covers all aspects of abuse, physical and psychological abuse of men and women.

Perhaps men did not wish to be featured in the programme because of the shame.
