Over 300 male victims of domestic and honour-related violence reported their situation to officials in the four big cities between July 2009 and September 2009, according to health ministry figures.



The experiment was set up by the ministry to assess the scale of the problem.

Each of the cities of Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam dedicated 10 places to male victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. In total 90 men were given places at the centres.
