Few experiences carry more shame, stigma, and misunderstanding than the life-altering trauma of sexual abuse. Men who experience sexual abuse and rape, often find themselves marginalised and isolated, yet there are few resources available for them or those who support them.

This book examines the impact of sexual abuse on different men through an intersectional lens, exploring how their unique identities, circumstances, and society’s views affect their recovery or compound their trauma. Each chapter addresses a topic chosen by hundreds of male survivors who have attended the author’s recovery groups. It includes survivor testimonies, signposts to resources, and reflective activities to help manage the aftermath of sexual trauma. With statutory services, such as the criminal justice system, often failing male survivors, the book draws on Transformative Justice principles to suggest alternative ways for men to break cycles of trauma and move forward with their lives.

Aimed at male survivors and those who support them―counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, family members, and loved ones―this book offers guidance and hope for navigating a path to healing.
