Coming In From The Cold

26 New Zealand male survivors share their personal stories of sexual abuse

In a new publication that records the last 10 years in the development of Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa, you will read the stories of 26 Tautoko Tāne staff and clients who have generously shared their survivor experiences to raise awareness of the impacts of sexual violence and to support the important work of the only national network in New Zealand that is dedicated to enabling the wellbeing of male survivors.

Evaluation of PartnerSPEAK

Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is rapidly becoming more prevalent online (Bursztein et al., 2019) as the number of people accessing it is increasing. This problem has only escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has prompted an unprecedented increase in reports of CSAM to authorities (NCMEC, 2021).

Many of these men have partners or families whose lives are impacted by their loved one’s CSAM use (Bouhours and Broadhurst 2011). These families experience negative health, mental health, and social outcomes as a result (Walker 2019).

Despite this, there are limited services equipped to provide support to this cohort, and no prior evaluation of the support services operating in this space.
