Male Survivors

This resource from the State University of New York at Fredonia addresses the often-overlooked issue of sexual assault against men, emphasizing that about 1 in 33 American men have experienced attempted or completed rape. It explains that male survivors face many of the same psychological reactions as female survivors, such as anger, shame, fear, and depression, but are uniquely burdened by social stigma, homophobia, and myths about masculinity that discourage disclosure.
