Our Mission
There are approximately 1 million male survivors of sexual abuse in Australia, but these figures can only be described as an educated guess. In spite of these estimates, there has been little research in the area of male sexual abuse, assault or rape and certainly there has been little to no funding of services in Australia dedicated to male sexual assault or the trauma that results from this. Even finding regular support groups for men is a challenge in most parts of Australia. The aim of Wounded boys, Heroic men is to shine a light on the prevalence of male sexual abuse and rape in Australia. To listen, support and advocate through programs that will enable these “Heroic men” and their family and friends to start on there healing journey.
