This Government recognises that men and boys experience abusive and violent crimes, such as stalking, domestic abuse, and sexual violence, and we are committed to ensuring that male victims and survivors get the support that they need. The Home Office and the Ministry of Justice fund organisations such as Respect, Galop, SignHealth, and Hourglass, which provide essential support to male victims. This includes the Men’s Advice Line, run by Respect, which offers vital support to male victims of domestic abuse.

Following the Chancellor’s announcement on 11 June, we are continuing to work through the details of government funding for tackling VAWG over the 2026–2029 Spending Review period.

We are working tirelessly across government to deliver the VAWG Strategy. It is vital that we get this right, and we are committed to publishing the Strategy as soon as possible.
