Raising awareness for survivors of sexual abuse, Survivors Manchester is a voluntary organisation that aims to create and facilitate a safe space for male survivors of sexual abuse and rape to work through personal and sometimes painful issues. The event will raise both funds and awareness for the charity, which will, in turn, provide further help and support to victims of abuse.

The evening will be hosted at Tribeca in Manchesters Gay Village and see five DJs providing the tunes that will have you on the dancefloor all night.

The event comes as a result of recent news of Manchester student, Reynhard Sinaga, being found guilty of assaulting what police believe was at least 190 victims.

Hazel OKeefe, the owner of TriBeCa and the organiser of the event has said of the event:

Im really surprised by what has happened and why there havent been more fundraisers being held in Manchester.

Not only is male on male rape a really important issue we need to talk about, the organisations are seriously underfunded. It feels like what has happened has been swept under the mat in a lot of ways and thats not acceptable.

We want to run an event that shows male victims of rape that we do care and their voices are being heard.

Tickets for the event cost a minimum donation of £5, with all proceeds being donated to Survivor Manchester.
