Our Mission
The mission of 1in6 is to help men who have had unwanted or abusive sexual experiences in childhood live healthier, happier lives.
A key part of that mission is serving you – the girlfriend, wife, partner, family member or friend of a man who's had such an experience – by providing information and support with this site.
Researchers estimate that 1 in 6 men have experienced unwanted or abusive sexual experiences before age 16. This is a low estimate, of experiences involving physical contact, though we know that noncontact experiences can have lasting negative effects.
If a man you care about has had such an experience, or you're wondering if he has, you are not alone.
If you're wondering whether such an experience may be connected to some difficulties or challenges in his life now – including in his relationship with you – you are not alone.
This is a place for you to learn more, reflect on your situation, find answers to your questions, and explore your options – all at your own pace, and in complete privacy.
This site is filled with information for people like you, who are trying to understand and support men who had unwanted or abusive sexual experiences as boys.
