Public forms of sexual violence are more likely in conflict, while sexual abuse and violence in more closed institutions.4 As with sexual violence against women and girls as well as against those of non-binary gender identities, sexual violence against men is about gendered and patriarchal power and domination. One of the main reasons why SGBV against men and boys is so effective in undermining survivors’ selves is that it strikes at multiple levels what it means to ‘be a man’ in many societies. This includes: to be able to protect oneself, the family, and the community; to be a breadwinner - as this might become impossible because of the injuries incurred, especially where manual labour is the main opportunity available; to partake in the leadership of the family and community; and to not seek outside help or support.
