‘Under-reported’ - Barbados Today

Senior Probation Officer Diana Goodridge has lamented that abuse perpetrated against men is going underreported while children who witness abuse in the household are presenting with behavioural issues.Speaking during the National Council on Substance Abuse’s webinar on The Link Between Intimate Partner Violence and Substance Abuse, on Wednesday, she said addressing the issue must therefore be done holistically.Goodridge noted that while the statistics show women are abused more in relationships than their male partners, men in abusive relationships often did not report it either because of the stigma attached or because they were not aware they were victims of abuse.“I think it’s important to emphasise that it is not only men that are abusers. Often I do workshops with women and . . . they did not know [certain actions] were classed as abuse,” she said.
