DareLondon set up a hidden camera experiment to see how strangers would react to seeing domestic abuse for ManKind’s #ViolenceIsViolence campaign.

Public perceptions of violence differ depending on the aggressor. People intervened when the woman was abused, not a few found it entertaining when the man is subjected to the same abuse.

I seem to recall any number of hidden camera youtube videos revealing abuse of women in public places. Is this any different?
