Even as crimes against women catch the media limelight, there remain a sizable number of men who are victims of violence by their female spouses, forced to bear the abuse with a smile and a grin. With no recourse.
According to Dial 100, men are increasingly speaking out. The emergency hotline gets on an average at least one complaint from men daily mentioning they get assaulted by their wives.
Figures indicate that in the past two months around 68 men called the helpline number claiming that their wives have been assaulting them and they need help.
