MEN OF VALOUR

Men of Valour

Men of Valour focuses on men who are older than twenty-one.  Twenty-one is the last legal threshold that men have to cross before they are considered to be men. 

Men over twenty-one have different issues to face than men under twenty-one. 
Although there is still support out there for these men, the support start to diminish as they get older. 
By the age of twenty-six most men should have established their career goals. Afer this age there is little support that the can obtain because of the fact that they are supposed to be men and sopposed to be able to support themselves and/or their family. 
However, if men require additional support Men of Valour is here to help. 
Men of Valour will address social, economical and health needs of men.
These men should then be on their way to becoming Mighty Men of Valour.

GMTV states: Men at risk

Domestic violence, for so long considered to solely affect women, claims the lives of over 30 men per year nationwide. One man in six will be the victim of domestic violence at some point in his life.

Domestic violence is defined as any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between adults who are or have been in a relationship together, or between family members, regardless of gender or sexuality.

Whatever form it takes, domestic violence is rarely a one-off incident. More usually it's a pattern of abusive and controlling behaviour through which the abuser seeks power over their victim.

Domestic violence occurs across society, regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, wealth and geography.  The figures show, however, that it consists mainly of violence by men against women. However, men are by no means exclusively the perpetrators of the crime.
