Demand Justice be Served – File a Discrimination Complaint
Has this ever happened to you?
-
Called a domestic violence hotline for help, only to have them laugh at your problem?
-
Requested police assistance regarding a physically abusive partner, and then been told you must have provoked her or otherwise been blamed based on her word?
-
Asked for VAWA-funded counseling services, legal help, housing assistance, or other help, and been turned down (or received less help) because you were a man?
-
Been openly taunted in court for claiming to be an abused man?
If so, then you have experienced sex discrimination. Federally-funded domestic violence programs that discriminate against males are violating the law.
It's important that you file a complaint, both for your benefit and in order to break the harmful pattern of discrimination. It's easy to do. Here's how:
-
Fill out the complaint form, which can be found here: http://www.ojp.gov/ocr/cvi.pdf. When filling out the form, follow the instructions at http://www.mediaradar.org/docs/DiscriminationComplaintExample.pdf
-
Fill out a short Identity Release Statement: http://www.ojp.gov/ocr/consent.pdf
-
Send the completed forms to:

And mail a copy to RADAR:
