Abstract: Intimate partner violence against male victims is an understudied phenomenon that has been neglected by traditional research methods in South Africa. This study is intended to shed light on the under-researched area of intimate partner violence against male victims in South Africa. Despite the focus on female victims of violence, male victims have historically been neglected in research. This study is concerned with identifying the contributory factors that make men vulnerable to intimate partner violence in South Africa. This study employed the qualitative research approach. The study comprised of 10 male victims of intimate partner violence to assist the research to gather in-depth data about IPV. Furthermore, data was analyzed thematically, this is a qualitative research data analysis method used to identify, code, and categorize patterns and themes with the date set. Findings from this study are set to inform policymakers and service providers to develop interventions that meet the needs of male victims in South Africa, and to strengthen the evidence base for male victimhood. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on male victimhood and ultimately to the development of policy and programs that prevent violence against men and promote their safety and well-being.
