A hard-hitting experiment has revealed how strangers react differently when they see domestic abuse depending on the gender of the abuser. ManKind Initiative, a charity organisation which aims to provide support for male victims of domestic abuse made videos filmed with hidden cameras at a London park.
In the first video, they made a male actor attack his ‘girlfriend’ in front of onlookers who immediately rushed to help the lady, with one shouting: ‘Oi mate, what's wrong with you?’
The man is told ‘someone will call the police if you carry on doing that to someone’, before a passer-
by said to the woman: ‘You don't have to put up with that honey, he's not worth it’.
