What would you do if you saw a woman abusing a man?
A hidden camera was set up by DareLondon as an experiment to see how strangers would react to seeing domestic abuse for ManKind’s #ViolenceIsViolence campaign.
A couple, played by actors in a London park get into a heated argument and things start to get out of control as the man starts to physically abuse his “girlfriend.”
People immediately notice and take action. One woman walks up to the guy yelling, “What’s wrong with you?” and more women gather around, and even threaten to call the police.
Then the situation changes. The actors recreate the same scenario, except this time it is the woman who is abusing the man.
In this reversed situation, onlookers react differently…
Not one person even attempts to help the man and they seem to be more entertained than anything.
As the dispute continues, the video reveals a rather shocking statistic:
The ManKind Initiative is dedicated to Support for Male Victims of Domestic Abuse, including running a national violence helpline. To learn more about the charity check out their website.
