"När ingen jävel tror på en" : Våldets karaktär och konsekvenser för våldsutsatta män
Sammanfattning: The aim of this report was to study how men abused by female perpetrators experienced intimate partner violence and the treatment they received from the society while seeking help and support. The report was based on qualitative research which included four interviews which have been analyzed with a hermeneutic research approach, through the theories of gender and masculinity, the normalization process, stigma, recognition and denial, forms of capital and the concept of codependency. The results of the study showed that intimate partner violence affecting men often consisted of psychological violence, which made it more difficult to report and led to great amounts of hidden statistics regarding its extent. This could also lead to difficulties for friends and family of the abused men, facing the problem and the ongoing situation, which led to difficulties for the men, receiving help from them. Another contributing factor to why the problem is unknown might be the lack of formal help where abused men can seek help, which may also lead to a lack of reports regarding the problem. This lack of help may contribute to the men distrusting the help that society can offer.
