It happens, yes. In the UK it’s 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men, with an average of 30 deaths of men and 104 deaths of women annually. There are organisations that deal with it too, and yes those orgs need much more visibility. This ad isn’t about that, though. Two women a week are killed by their spouses/boyfriends in the UK and your whataboutery doesn’t change that stat. When the Teenage Cancer Trust advertises, I don’t think too many people shout at the tv saying “what about all the cancer patients who ain’t teenagers???”
@@62pnpn Nobody has suggested that? Its un deniable that women experience more domestic and sexual abuse than men. All of their lives they are taught to not walk alone at night, if you get catcalled keep walking, if you think you are being followed take two lefts, cross the street at night if a man is coming your way. This is all for a reason. 90% of rape victims are women. 93% of the perpetrators of rape are men. Using male victims as a way to validate your "Not All Men" argument is disrespectful and gross. Of course not all men are bad, and of course women can abuse as well, but they are incomparable. All cases should be taken seriously but it should be recognised that women are MUCH MORE likely to be abused than men.
The day when we stop segregating male and female domestic abuse and come together the better we can eradicate domestic abuse all together. Men are also victims of abuse and unfortunately all this advert does is just ignores them.
Of course every case of domestic abuse should be taken seriously and each individual should be able to access support. It is true - men and women can both experience incidents of violence and abuse but women are far more likely to experience repeated and severe forms of abuse, including sexual violence. They are also more likely to have experienced sustained physical, psychological or emotional abuse, or violence which results in injury or death. Your argument is akin to the All Lived Matter vs BLM. It would like asking a breast cancer charity to spend as much time and money and resources on male breast cancers when the majority of people who suffer are women. Or changing the narrative around rape when it is a very small minority of rapes that female on male. It almost tries to belittle the problem. These awareness raising campaigns have a target audience and a certain demographic that needs reaching - in this case it’s women as they are more likely to need help. A general awareness raising campaign could deter women from accessing support as it doesn’t resonate, or speak to them when they are the demographic most likely to be suffering.
@@angelicpapillon Yes I do, as a victim of domestic abuse myself its all very one sided, especially in campaigns like this where they claim they want to stop domestic abuse as a whole but only portray woman as victims in all their advertising. You never hear or see males being the victims and we are ALWAYS painted in the negative light. We need campaigns that are impartial and highlight domestic abuse from both sexes. We need to show that its okay for men to speak up from being abused and seek support out there, male suicide has been on the rise for decades now for a number of different reasons but the fact that men tend to be demonised by the mainstream media and in various ad campaigns is probably a contributing factor in male depression/suicide.
Ever such a good advert this. It's on the TV so much and the more I watch it the more I notice things I didn't see before. The plot is that she spend all day in her car with her child for safety's sake. Still can't understand the lemons though.
I just don't get the adv , why she s staying in the car all day with the kid only to go back home in the evening.Unless her husband doing a night shift.
At a guess she wanted to escape the abuse for a few hours so sits in the car but she tells her husband when she gets home the supermarket queue was massive to excuse the time she had been away & she has to go home at some point
Hello Women’s Aid, I get that charities for women are important, but it happens to men to and you refusal to just be, Human’s Aid is wrong. What if a man needs help? Yes there may be charities for men but they have a fraction of the funding you do! If you say that you care, give some attention to these smaller charities

I never denied that it happens to women more, did I? What I am trying to say is that even if it happens to women more, men’s charities still need funding
@@popflicktionedits3256 I never said you denied it - as you have acknowledged it happens to women more and therefore there is an argument to say a designated women’s only domestic abuse charity is necessary in order to really tailor the support on offer, and their size and funding is appropriate to the (very unfortunate) need.
