"Vernon Coaker, junior Home Office minister responsible for police, security and community safety, is championing in parliament a campaign, aimed at men, against domestic and sexual violence. "The majority of men don't abuse women, but there is a responsibility on men to speak up and speak out about it," he says. "The noise that men have made about it in the past has never been loud enough. I think that's a perspective I can bring to the whole discussion."
