Our thanks to Joanne for this, from Researching Reform. The start of the piece:
The government has announced that it will be offering an additional £2 million for domestic abuse charities affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The fund, which has been initiated by the Home Office, will offer support to domestic abuse charities “with a national or regional presence” affected by the outbreak. [J4MB: In practice, then, the support will be limited to charities supporting female victims only.]
Services which fall under the funding’s umbrella include those offering independent domestic violence advisors (IDVAs), CHIDVAs, family court support, face to face or remote counselling for individuals and/or their families, and support for BAME/disabled/LGBT victims.
Charities which provide support for “honour”-based abuse, forced marriage and female genital mutilation can also apply.
By implication, male victims of domestic abuse, and male victims of genital mutilation, can – as always – go to hell.

If everyone who read this gave us £5.00 – or even better, £5.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. £5.00 monthly would entitle you to Bronze party membership, details here. Benefits include a dedicated and signed book by Mike Buchanan. Click below to make a difference. Thanks.
Regular followers of this website are aware that neither Mike Buchanan, party leader, nor Elizabeth Hobson, Director of Communications, draw any income from the party’s income streams. We both work very long hours on behalf of men and boys (and the women who love them) so we’re unable to engage in paid employment.
We appeal to those who appreciate our work for financial support to help us meet our living expenses. We’ve set up Patreon pages for this purpose. Mike’s page is here, Elizabeth’s page is here. Thank you for your support.
