Boys are raped too
If you are a boy or young man who has been raped, the whole website is for you! Here is a bit more information that may be useful.
Boys often experience the effects of rape differently to girls for the following reasons:
- People don’t think it happens to boys
- Boys are ‘supposed to be tough’
- Does it mean I’m gay?
Mankind UK are a charity working with men who were raped in childhood. They believe that the above issues mean that boys/men who have been raped may have even more feelings of confusion, guilt and shame than girls/women.
