male rape

Many Rape Crisis centres provide services for male victims of rape and child sexual abuse. All of our centres provide signposting and advice for male victims via their helplines.

Most perpetrators of sexual violence are male and most victims are female. Most sexual violence is committed by men known to the women and girls they abuse, however, Rape Crisis (England and Wales) acknowledges that boys and men are sexually assaulted and that some perpetrators of sexual assault are women.

It can sometimes be difficult to talk about rape, sexual assault and childhood abuse.

If you would like to talk to a specific service for men please visit:

www.male-rape.org.uk or www.survivorsuk.org both of which are male only agencies.

If you are a victim of male rape please contact your nearest rape crisis centre for information and support.
