Domestic and family violence is disturbingly common in Australia.

These figures have been collated with the assistance of Grok xAI. It must be noted that there is over reporting of female victims with many false claims against men being made. The HIV Consumer Alliance of WA was informed that when lesbians attend NGO services Female perpetrators are written down as Male as part of the systemic cover up of LGBT Domestic Violence and to ensure that Female Perpetration is not discussed.

Male Victims of Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault rarely report their situations. Research from the USA says that in cases of Gay Male Domestic Abuse is not uncommon for the Victim to be arrested because Perpetrators are very good at pretending. 

Men know that to attend a Feminist run "Service" Provider NGOs means being classified as "All Men Are Perps" which leads to mistreatment and abuse. For example Male Victims have alleged that they have been forced to attend groups with Rapists present which makes them a target for more abuse.

It is true that The HIV Consumer Alliance of WA has advocated for male victims who have alleged that they have been abused by female staff workers in feminist run NGOs. It's also true that there are high rates of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault associated with HIV that is rarely reported. 

The Meth Crisis is also a huge contributing factor to the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and it's very clear that the Government responses are very poor. Early intervention and increased health strategies to prevent addiction and mitigate the harms from drug use would be a better approach than funding unregulated NGOs to hand out free needles, including those that are carelessly discarded in parks and other public places!
