This is great news. \u00a0Hopefully more centers will open across the United States.<\/p>\n

A domestic violence shelter serving\u00a0male victims has opened in Arkansas and is perhaps one of the first of its kind, according to Arkansas Online.<\/p>\n

The Taylor House Domestic Violence Shelter for Men could be the first registered, stand-alone shelter for men in the country, said Patty Duncan, executive director of the non-profit Family Violence Prevention in Batesville, a city in northern Arkansas.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people do not realize that domestic violence also affects men,\u201d Duncan told Arkansas Online. \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s not just male-female relationships. Domestic violence includes intimate partners, family and household members.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new shelter opened in October. It\u2019s already housed five men.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
