Ciaran shares his experience of being sexually assaulted by another man and why he is speaking out about it.

Currently, the government classes sexual violence against men and boys under the category of ‘violence against women and girls’. It means that there isn’t a dedicated government strategy to tackle sexual violence against men and boys.
