HELP CREATE CHANGE
YOUR STORY CAN HELP CHANGE HOW ABUSE AGAINST MEN IS SEEN

YOUR VOICE MATTERS
If you have experienced narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, coercive control, or domestic violence, your experience matters.
Men can face real barriers to reporting abuse, including shame, fear of not being believed, and concern that they may be treated as the aggressor instead of the person asking for help. Research on male victims has documented these barriers.
Youniq Era is collecting experiences to better understand these patterns and help inform conversations with communities, service providers, and policymakers.
Your story can help make the invisible visible.
And as a thank you, you can receive our free Break the Pattern Reflection Journal for Boys & Men.

Why This Matters
Abuse is not always physical. Coercive control can include intimidation, isolation, threats, surveillance, financial control, humiliation, and repeated behavior that limits a person’s freedom and independence.
Some states have begun recognizing coercive control in law, but it is still not recognized consistently across the country, and state laws continue to differ.
At the same time, men and boys can face added barriers when reporting abuse or asking for protection.
Our goal is twofold: help push for stronger recognition of coercive control in every state, and help change how abuse against men and boys is recognized, reported, and responded to.
Your story helps us show lawmakers where the gaps still exist.
