Spotlight on male victims of domestic abuse
March 62010
Those who suffer abuse are now being urged to seek help as part of a nationwide awareness week.
Ian McNicholl told Sky News he had been trapped in a terrifying violent relationship.
He described how his former partner, Michelle Williamson, squirted bleach in his eyes, forced lit cigarettes up his nose and burnt his arms with a hot iron.
She also smashed his shoulder with a hammer with such ferocity that the handle snapped.
“It gets worse without you realising,” he explained.
“You can’t seem to think for yourself or separate fact from fiction. You just want to keep her happy by complying and keeping her happy.
“As bizarre as it sounds, I still loved her.”
As Mr McNicholl found himself on the brink of committing suicide, a concerned neighbour alerted the police and his 10-month ordeal came to an end.
In April 2009, Williamson was sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court to serve a total of 18 years in prison.
Mr McNicholl is now slowly rebuilding his life and is about to have reconstructive surgery on his fractured eye sockets.
He told Sky News: “The fear of repercussions certainly stops people from reporting things.
“At one stage I was walking into the same newsagent with a new black eye or injury every day. Nobody said or did anything.”
A new TV advert will be part of a week-long awareness campaign.
Dr Steve Connor from the National Centre for Domestic Violence said: “As a man, it can be difficult to admit that you are being abused.
“As the advert points out, a man might feel ashamed, embarrassed or worried that he may be considered less of a man by speaking out against his abuser.”

President Bush Creates the Family Justice Center Initiative in 2003
February 222010
On October 8, 2003, President George W. Bush hailed the San Diego Family Justice Center model of co-located services to help victims of domestic violence and created a national initiative to start more such multi-agency centers. In 2005, Congress made Family Justice Centers a “purpose area” in the Violence Against Women Act. Today, there are more than 50 such Centers in the United States and over 50 more in planning stages. Each Center is unique but the focus is similar — trying to identify all needed services for victims of family violence and their children and then putting those services under one roof so that victims don’t have to go from agency to agency and place to place to get the help they need.
