Fréttatíminn, an Icelandic media outlet, has published an article asserting that women and men use partner (intimate) violence at comparable rates in Iceland. The article claims to call attention specifically to injustices faced by men in the country.
The piece features an update to what it describes as one of the world’s largest research syntheses about domestic violence. According to Fréttatíminn, the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge (PASK) report has been expanded and now spans 4,608 pages. The publication says it supports male victims of abuse, stalking, and parental alienation.
Fréttatíminn did not specify in the summary what dataset, number of studies, or overall scope the PASK report is based on. The article also did not cite any additional studies or measures to support its claim that men and women use partner violence at similar rates.
