Is there one avenue of identity politics this government won't exploit?

The most recent Canadian data on the topic of self-reported domestic abuse shows that men and women suffer equal rates of domestic violence. It’s a human issue, not a gender issue – anyone can be a victim but not everyone can get help.

“Domestic violence comes in many faces,” says Justin Trottier, executive director for the Canadian Centre for Men and Families (CCMF). “We’ve long known that domestic violence victims span all ages, races and ethnicities. Now we’re becoming aware they also span all genders and sexual orientations. Yet fathers and their children experiencing abuse often have no place to go.”
