Domestic violence in Quebec, Canada [www.msss.gouv.qc.ca]

These government webpages acknowledge that domestic violence occurs against men, but mostly concentrates on abused women. It also completely ignores the case of gays and lesbians in abusive relationships.

We would encourage them to send a message that all domestic violence is important. I have read that workplace injuries happen disprortionately to men, because they tend to be in more dangerous fields of work. Yet, we wouldn't expect to see a government webpage on workplace injury emphasize that most injured workers are men. I'd expect them to treat all injuries seriously, depending on what the severity of their injuries are.

Yet at the same time, there are signs of progress. This webpage at least acknowledges that men can be abused in their relationships, and that they are deserving of services.
