An event in Newcastle will explore some of the reasons why men in the North East don't seek out support for unwanted sexual experiences.
The Men’s Unwanted Sexual Experiences (MUSE) project has interviewed around 17 men from across the North East to uncover some of the barriers men experience when trying to seek support.
Dr Carl Bonner-Thompson, a senior lecturer at the University of Brighton, is just one of the researchers behind the project in collaboration with the Male Survivor Partnership and ManKindUK. It comes as a recent survey by ManKind UK for 1in6.uk highlighted that 42% of men in the UK have experienced at least one form of unwanted sexual contact and they rarely seek formal support.
