1in6

About

The mission of 1in6 is to help men who have had unwanted or abusive sexual experiences live healthier, happier lives. 1in6's mission also includes serving family members, friends, partners, and service providers by providing information and support resources on the web and in the community.

This is likely a low estimate, since it doesn’t include non-contact experiences, and because men are less likely to disclose their experiences due to the stigma, silence, and myths around the issue.

1in6 offers a wide range of information and services for men with histories of unwanted or abusive sexual experiences, and anyone who cares about them. Some of the organization's resources include:
