I've been sent a press release for this, and thought it might be of interest:
Mike Buchanan, leader of the political party Justice for Men & Boys, cordially invites you to join him at the one-hour Zoom press conference on the inaugural International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Men (IDEVAM), at 16:00 GMT on Friday, November 18. The link to join the conference is here. It’s being hosted in Washington DC. The panellists will consist of leading experts on domestic violence and partner abuse from the United States, United Kingdom, Romania, and India.
It’s long been known and reported by researchers that women are at least as likely as men to inflict violence against their opposite-sex partners. Indeed, the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (2013) with summaries of 1,700 peer-reviewed studies – PASK13 – reported that in the minority of heterosexual couples with domestic violence, where the violence was always uni-directional, the perpetrator was TWICE as likely to be the woman as the man.
The support available for male victims of domestic violence is scandalously poor in the UK, as it is globally. As a member of the Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance (DAVIA), it gives me great pleasure to promote the first International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Men, on November 18.
DAVIA invites lawmakers, media representatives, and others to participate in IDEVAM events to be held in locations around the globe. The following have been accomplished:
The following day, November 19, will be International Men’s Day.
Domestic violence against men represents a hidden epidemic around the world. A compilation of 343 scholarly investigations concluded that “women are as physically aggressive as men (or more) in their relationships with their spouses or opposite-sex partners.” These studies were conducted on a broad range of racial, ethnic, and socio-economic groups in 40 countries.
As reported by Ann Silvers, the recent trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard revealed that Heard was repeatedly abusive of Depp, both physically and psychologically. On one occasion, Heard hurled a glass at Depp, severing the end of his finger.

DAVIA invites lawmakers, media representatives, and others to participate in IDEVAM events to be held in locations around the globe. The following have been accomplished:
- Two videos have been produced: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Men and 46 Groups Call on U.N. to Address ‘Hidden Epidemic’ of Domestic Violence Against Men.
- 46 organizations from 16 countries sent a letter to the United Nations, calling on the UN to recognize the global problem of violence against men.
- The UN proposal, “Intensification of Efforts to Eliminate All Forms of Violence Against Women and Girls” was analysed for bias and factual accuracy.
