There is growing recognition of male victimization of female-perpetrated Intimate Partner Violence and the unique challenges men face. However, research surrounding societal attitudes and perceptions of IPV and its impact on both victims and society remains under-researched. The purpose of this research was to explore the views of men regarding male victims of IPV perpetrated by females. The study specifically examined three key areas, namely, the identification of IPV, seeking assistance, and reporting behaviour. Thematic analysis was employed to gather insights from five participants and gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives on IPV. Key findings include the inability to recognise IPV, barriers which occur on an individual and societal level which prevent help-seeking and a lack of support networks, with gender expectations being one of the more prominent causes. This study highlights the need for comprehensive education, awareness, and robust support services that specifically target the distinct challenges male victims of IPV experience.
