I am writing a book on domestic violence in the Philippines. I have met battered women. I want to interview battered men too. Where do we bring the victims and the perpetrators of violence. There are crisis centers all over the country that cater to women and children. Where can we bring the men so they can be rehabilitated. We have to flesh out right away the batterer intervention program, setting up the facility for male victims and female victims. The men who are victimized are silent but manifest anger and violence in their lives. We have to address this NOW. The Social Welfare department is mandated together with other government agencies listed in Republic Act 9262 to set up such a program. Calling on the private sector to help, as surely among our midst are colleagues , officemates who need help. Please help fund such facilites as part of your community outreach. Let me know in what form you want to help. attysison2020@yahoo.com

Hello,
Came across your website when I am searching for resources on battered husband. I read your posting that you wanted to interview battered husbands. My dad is a battered husband but his case is quite unique…He is 85 years old now and we did not know he is a battered husband until 5 years ago! You see he has a second wife so he was not living with us before. Now he is living with us but we need to find a lawyer quick so we could give justice to what she did to him. If you think that you can help us, please drop me an email so we could contact you.
