Society ignores male abuse victims | In The Studio

"Part of me felt like he took something from me."

Joshua, a survivor of abuse, recounts his story with us and shares:

• How it drove him to self-punishment.

• How society enables abusers and turns a blind eye to male victims.

• Two steps survivors can take in their journey towards healing.
