Male Rape

Because of feeling that a man should be strong and
not show emotion, many men choose not to report an attack for fear of
ridicule. Sadly, this also prevents men from asking for help.

There is now more acceptance and understanding that men too can become victims or rape and sexual assault.

We train all officers in initial actions to be taken when dealing
with victims of rape and sexual assault, and there are Specially
Trained Officers who will be called to deal with your attack.

It is important to remember that asking for help and recognising that you need support is a strength, not a weakness.
