Why this matters
Silence around male survivors keeps them isolated. Many wait decades to tell anyone. H4H gives communities the language and tools to respond with care.
-
Abuse is defined by lack of consent, not by gender.
-
Erection and arousal are involuntary responses, not consent.
-
Family-member abuse is common and real, including cousin abuse.
-
Belief and patience are the most powerful first responses.
