History is being made, as more men are coming out to report cases of abuse by their spouses.
Over 2,000 cases of abuse of men by their female partners were recorded last year, according to statistics on domestic violence released by the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the police.
Public Relations Officer of DOVVSU, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Freeman Tettey, who disclosed this to the Times in Accra yesterday, said "the abuses against men included causing harm, physical assault and a few cases of the women abandoning their children in the care of the husbands."
ASP Tettey said the men were physically attacked by the women with objects such as sticks, cutlasses and hot pressing irons for reasons among which jealousy was dominant.
"Although many more men are now reporting assault cases to the unit, women are still by far the most victims of abuse. We recorded 2,017 abuse cases against men and 12,316 against women last year," ASP Tettey said.
In 2009, there were 2,568 reported cases of abuse against men as opposed to 14,428 against women.
He said most men did not retaliate in such attacks, and appealed to them to report to DOVVSU any kind of abuse against them.
