More men victimized in HK domestic cases(China Daily)Updated: 2007-01-10 08:37 Women are increasingly the aggressors in domestic violence cases, according to a Hong Kong group called Harmony House. In the cases Harmony House handled last year, the ratio of male victims rose to 12 percent compared with 2005's 8 percent. What's more, 847 of the 981 calls to Harmony House's hotline for men are made by abused husbands. Social workers said that a new phenomenon in domestic violence is for a couple to attack each other. They warned that women who retaliate with force are at greater danger, though, "because men's fists are bigger". (Singtao Daily) |
