Ukatili wa majumbani huwa hususani kwa wanawake ila pia sasa kuna tatizo la unyanyasaji kwa wanaume ni tatizo kubwa lakini mara nyingi halionekani, hasa kwa sababu ya jinsi wanavyokuwa wanaonekana katika jamii kwamba wanaume wanapaswa kuwa na nguvu, kujitegemea, na kushughulikia matatizo yao wenyewe.
Dhana hizi zinafanya iwe vigumu kwa wanaume kukubali kuwa ni waathiriwa na kufanyiwa ukatili katika majumbani kwao, jambo ambalo linaweza kusababisha matatizo makubwa ya afya ya akili kama vile msongo wa mawazo, wasiwasi, na hisia za upweke.
Tatizo hili linadhoofishwa na ukosefu wa rasilimali na mifumo ya msaada inayolengwa kwa wanaume. Huduma nyingi za ukatili wa majumbani zinawalenga sana wanawake, na kuwaacha wanaume bila na hio sauti ya kusema matatizo hayo. Zaidi na hayo, wanaume mara nyingi wanakutana na unyanyapaa wa kijamii na kutoaminika wanapojaribu kuripoti unyanyasaji, jambo ambalo linakatisha tamaa wengi kutafuta msaada.
Kuripoti kwa uchache ni tatizo kubwa, kwani wanaume wanaogopa kutoaminika, kudharauliwa, au kukutana na upendeleo wa kisheria na kitaasisi ambao unaweza kufanya iwe vigumu kupata maagizo ya ulinzi au ulinzi wa watoto wao. Msongo na kutegemea kuvumilia ukatili bila msaada wa kutosha vinaweza kusababisha athari za muda mrefu kwa afya ya akili, na kuzidisha athari kwa maisha yao kwa ujumla.
Ikiwa unaishi katika mazingira ambapo unashuhudia masuala kama haya katika mazingira yako, ungewashauri wanaume wafanye nini ili kukabiliana na hali hii?

===================================
Domestic violence against men is a significant but often hidden issue, primarily due to societal expectations that men should be strong, self-reliant, and able to handle their problems independently. These stereotypes make it difficult for men to admit they are victims of abuse, leading to severe mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation.
The problem is suppressed by the lack of resources and support systems tailored for men. Many domestic violence services and shelters are geared towards women, leaving men with fewer options for help. Additionally, men often face social stigma and disbelief when they do try to report abuse, which discourages many from seeking assistance.
Underreporting is a significant issue, as men fear not being believed, being mocked, or facing legal and institutional biases that can make it harder to obtain protection orders or custody of their children. The stress and trauma of enduring domestic abuse without adequate support can lead to long-term mental health consequences, worsening the overall impact on their lives.
If you're leaving in a environment where you witnesses such issues on your environment, what would you recommend Men to do so as to deal with this situation?
