Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) disproportionately affects marginalized communities.
  • Gay and bisexual men (GBM) face unique barriers in recognizing and reporting IPV due to societal stigma and heteronormative frameworks.
  • Existing support services often lack the cultural competency to address GBM-specific needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the barriers and facilitators encountered by gay and bisexual men (GBM) in Scotland regarding IPV recognition, help-seeking, and disclosure.
  • To understand the lived experiences of GBM survivors of IPV and their journey in accessing support.
  • To identify key factors influencing help-seeking behaviors and service utilization among GBM survivors.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative narrative inquiry approach was employed.
  • In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 GBM survivors of IPV.
  • Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and themes in participants' experiences.

Main Results:

  • IPV among GBM is multifaceted, including coercive control and various forms of abuse, often normalized or overlooked.
  • Key barriers include the invisibility of GBM IPV in societal and service narratives, fear of judgment, and a lack of tailored support.
  • Facilitators include GBM-affirming environments, empathetic professionals, and accessible pathways, particularly within sexual health clinics.

Conclusions:

  • There is an urgent need for inclusive practices, enhanced professional training, and GBM-specific support frameworks in IPV services.
  • Addressing critical gaps in IPV responses requires culturally safe interventions for GBM survivors.
  • Findings offer insights for improving support systems for GBM survivors in Scotland and globally.
