This resource highlights the widespread but often hidden reality of male sexual victimization, noting that 1 in 6 men will experience sexual abuse in their lifetime and that it can occur at any age. Male survivors are often family members, friends, or loved ones, yet many remain silent due to fear, shame, and the belief that they are alone. The stigma surrounding male victimization fosters secrecy and isolation, but when survivors break their silence, it becomes clear that there is no single stereotype of a male survivor.
