Andy Carroll’s decision to share his experience in his latest book is a powerful and courageous step.
Speaking with both LBC and ITV, our CEO, Duncan Craig OBE, reflected on the significance of Andy’s disclosure and the impact it may have on other male survivors.
When someone in the public eye chooses to speak openly about their experience, it can help others feel less alone, recognise parts of their own story, and see that support is available.
Every male survivor’s journey is personal. No one should ever feel pressured to speak before they’re ready, we encourage people to reach out for support when they need it.
You can watch the full interviews here:

Give it up for Steve whose fundraiser saw him climbing Pen y Fan a whopping five times, raising money for our helpline. 💪
He told us:
“Raising funds for ManKind is my way of making sure another man in need gets that same lifeline when he feels he has nowhere else to turn.”

We’re delighted to be at the MOD Defence Academy in Shrivenham today.
With 42% of domestic abuse victims being male and men in the military often struggling to disclose abuse due to fear of being perceived as weak or vulnerable, it’s a privilege to share our important work here.

This is good to see - better support for female and male victims of rape and sexual assault is needed!
More certainty. Better support. A better court experience.
A new £23 million package will deliver specialist rape courtrooms, more certainty over trial dates and better support throughout the court process.

Below our survey results from men in our service, proof that where there is support men will heal, sadly male victims are starved of support, we need more, it has to start at the top

When his marriage collapsed, the author was distraught – and then came a custody battle with a legal system prejudiced against fathers…

Great reception for Marilyn @MaybeMaz in the last few days at Victoria Barrack (Windsor) and at The Service Centre in the Cotswolds. Cotswolds. Both health fair. Lots of support and requests for information about male victims.

Huge thank you @elliereeves for referring this to the Court of Appeal.
A woman who falsely accused ten men of rape had her sentence increased from 4 years and 6 months to 7 years by the Court of Appeal after the Attorney General, Ellie Reeves KC MP intervened.

Hugely sad news that @PAPYRUS_tweets has closed. We provided training to their staff who were always hugely engaged. This is a real loss and this is a national support line that saves so many young lives, so we cannot afford for it go.

If you are a male victim of domestic abuse who is stabbed, strangled, hit and have a crushed vertebrae - the perpetrator will NOT go to prison. That is what the so-called judiciary (Justice Bate) think is justice. Farcial. @AlexDaviesJones @LabourSatvir

Coercive control looks different from person to person - this can be confusing and although you can feel the increasing restrictions of it, it can feel hard to explain to others
@PoliceServiceNI are trained to understand and 'Every Victim Matters' to them and us. Call 101 and MAP

Northern Ireland Justice Minister @naomi_long has brilliantly funded a male victim survivors campaign in partnership with @MensAdvisoryP @PoliceServiceNI
Meanwhile our Government @ukhomeoffice @LabourSatvir has point blank refused to do the same. #enough itv.com/news/utv/2026-08-19/…

We asked in the summer and they said male victims were not a priority. They make up two in every five victims. They refuse to include men in their #enough campaign. We asked. They said no.
