N2  - . In partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), Vera’s Center on Victimization and Safety launched a project to explore the victimization experiences of male survivors with
disabilities and those who are Deaf and delineate the challenges they face when accessing victim services. 

This brief presents the project findings. It gives an overview of the latest research on the incidence and prevalence of sexual violence in the lives of men with the subject, and documents the unique barriers both groups face in accessing services. It concludes by looking ahead to how additional research, public policy changes, and educational efforts can contribute to ending the victimization of men with disabilities and Deaf men.
