There are many GBT out there desperately attempting to keep their sexual identity  hidden, but fall victim to the cruelty & torture inflicted on them by their partner, who can abuse this fact and use this secret as one of the tools against their victims in order to keep control and dominate the relationship. So when domestic violence occurs it often enforces a deeper level of isolation, creating a secret within a secret and forcing its victim to become emotionally and physically segregated from their friends, family and their community.

Many gay men, bisexuals & transsexuals (GBT) find it hard to come to terms with their sexual identity. It is because of this that so many are driven into isolation, becoming reclusive, depressed and vulnerable with a high suicidal rate being attributed to these individuals.
We are a team that specialise in the field of personal development. The incidents of Domestic Abuse against men is more common then most people may think. Often the perpetrator is empowered by the fact that the male victim may feel less of a man should they come forward and admit they are being assaulted, abuse, degraded, humiliated or intimidated by their female spouses or partner.
Domestic abuse and violence is a problem that has exsisted since the dawn of time, with women ultimately named as the victims. More recently, awareness of men being the victims has become more evident throughout the country with more cases being reported. However, there is a section of our society that is greatly affected by domestic violence but is rarely spoken of, and this is domestic violence within gay, bisexuals and transsexual partnerships.
There appears to be a misconception in our society today that only portrays women as victims of domestic abuse, when in fact more and more male victims are coming forward and speaking out against their female aggressors. Domestic abuse does not discriminate; it can happen to you regardless of your gender, race, sexuality, age or size.
NewPaths is focused on helping male victims of domestic abuse. Our services are available to any male victims of domestic abuse regardless of your sexual preference.
