DOMESTIC ABUSE

[Duchess]

While I was aware that it could happen to men I thought instances of it were very rare. I was wrong.

Female victims are often the focus of initiatives against domestic abuse. But according to a 2010 report from the Centers for Disease Control, more than one in four men in the U.S. experience rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime, and one in seven men experience severe physical violence from an intimate partner.

How can a man be raped? I'm genuinely curious.
