Tuatoko Tāne Aotearoa has released its Social Investment Proposal in support of a request for increased Government funding to sustain the capability and capacity of its national network of support services for male survivors of sexual abuse.

The proposal provides solid evidence of the positive impacts of peer support and demonstrates that every dollar invested can return up to $4 in net benefits. Tautoko Tāne resources are seriously overcommitted to support the current caseload of more than 4,000 male survivors per annum – less than 5% of the estimated 84,000 male survivors in Aotearoa who suffer high psychological distress as a result of their abuse.
