The Ministry of Social Development commissioned Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa (Formerly Male Survivors Aotearoa) to conduct research into the experiences of male survivors of sexual abuse. Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa comprises 11 member organisations throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand. Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa is dedicated to supporting male survivors
of, usually historical, sexual abuse.

Central to Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa’s operations is the provision of peer support. Peer support is based on the belief that people who have faced, endured, and overcome adversity can offer useful support, encouragement and hope to others facing similar situations.

This report overviews the last in a suite of projects looking at the needs, experiences and support options for male survivors of sexual abuse, with an emphasis on peer support. (From the abstract). Record #8791
