Often men's voices are not heard, particularly concerning the subject of childhood sexual abuse. Learning more about the experiences of males who have spoken about their abuse, and sought support is a vital step towards advancing knowledge and understanding of this area.

By participating in this research you can provide valuable information about your experiences whether you have sought help or not. This will help improve understanding of the experiences of male survivors and the aspects involved in the process of help-seeking for males.

Child abuse increasing....

NSPCC says child sex abuse has risen to 64 crimes a day

At least 64 children are sexually abused every day in England and Wales, figures obtained by the NSPCC suggest. More than 23,000 offences - including rape, incest and gross indecency - were recorded by police in 2009-10, an 8% increase on 2008-9, the charity said. For the first time, its research also looked at the age of abusers and found a quarter were aged under 18. One in four victims was aged 11 or under.
The Home Office said the figures were "appalling". The figures for recorded sex crimes against children were obtained through a successful NSPCC freedom of information request to all 43 police forces in England and Wales. The figures showed that more than half of the victims were aged between 12 and 15, one in four was aged five to 11, and more than 1,000 were aged four or younger.
