Aims: The ManKind Initiative is a charity providing help and support for male victims of domestic abuse or domestic violence.

We work closely with other organisations and the police in order to implement a nation-wide policy of support for all victims of domestic abuse, irrespective of gender. If you are a man experiencing domestic abuse, do not suffer in silence. Do not allow your children to suffer. Contact ManKind now. Let us help you break the cycle of aggression.
We undertake lectures, workshops and provide information to raise awareness of the social problems caused by domestic abuse. We work in partnership with all agencies to develop solutions for all victims.

We campaign for more recognition, services and support for male victims of domestic abuse or domestic violence.
