Male Survivors MANifesto

We Are Survivors has been supporting male victims / survivors for over fifteen years, and in that me we have learned so much on how to meet the needs of male survivors, and their loved ones. As the UK goes to polls on 4th July 2024, we are asking all political parties to ensure that positively tackling the impact of sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation; along with leading a joint effort to prevent harms from occurring in the first place, are a key priority of Government. International research suggests that 1 in 6 males will be affected by sexual violence in their lifeline; 1 in 4 victims of child sexual abuse are boys; and over 1 in 10 victims of rape are male.
